Honestly, I believe the latest federal reauthorization bill was 2 years late under Dubya's term as well, which really affected the Job Access Reverse Commute funding method, making it very difficult to keep job access services, funded with these grant, operating despite their success.Obama has been more of a friend to transit than Bush ever was. Although it seems like money is being printed like there's no tomorrow, he has authorized numerous grants (stimulus) that has helped to update fleets and take care of very important and well-needed projects that have been put off for YEARS. The problem is the recession. Nobody has any money as many people are unemployed; therefore you can't get taxes from those who aren't working and have to dish out unemployment money. It's a vicious cycle, unfortunately. |
