Guiding Principles • Transportation is not a cost—it is an investment that supports jobs,

economic growth, and quality of life.

• Companies and employees view mass transit as a key differentiator in choosing where to locate their business or where to work.

• Competing states are making higher levels of investment in mass transit.

• Turnpike toll rate increases necessitated by Act 44 adversely affect our economic competitiveness.

• New additional recurring revenue is needed to support the projects that will make a difference.
