Congress wants to cut transit funding

If you live in a city and want a new busway, light rail or subway line to relieve congestion things will tougher in the future if a new bill in congress advances.

Quote:

Currently, transit capital projects are eligible to receive 80 percent of their funding from federal sources, with local sources providing the remaining 20 percent. This is the same as the federal match available for highway projects. But the new House bill would cut the maximum federal match for transit projects to 50 percent while leaving the highway formula untouched.

Why cut transit but not highways? I'll leave that up to you though I have some pretty good ideas.
