If you have a mandate to use money to increase ridership then you have a coherent reason to say no to low-value add-ons (it won’t increase ridership) and dollars will naturally flow to whichever jurisdictions actually focus on cost-effectiveness. https://t.co/z0tRpu1oU0 — PolitiTweet.org

If agencies are touting small business benefits and creation of good-paying jobs then of course they’re not going to deliver timely, cost-effective projects. https://t.co/z0tRpu1oU0 https://t.co/vT9REesoXF — PolitiTweet.org
