Author Description

This collection of studies about public transportation by renown conservative transit advocates Paul Weyrich and William Lind is essential reading for anyone who wants to build conservative support for public transportation. These studies help make the case for public transit in terms conservatives appreciate: because it enhances national security, promotes economic development, helps maintain conservative values including a sense of community, and provides welfare recipients with access to jobs. Weyrich, who co-founded the Heritage Foundation and the Free Congress Foundation, both conservative think tanks, died in 2008.
