- It is well documented investment in public transportation creates jobs. Improved transit will attract businesses and investment by improving access to labor markets and reducing transportation costs. I will support transit-oriented policies that encourage dense, mixed-use development around transit stations, making it easier for people to live, work, and access amenities.
- We must elevate Omaha to the standards of our peers. I will advocate for increased funding for public transportation projects, including infrastructure improvements, expansion of services, and new technologies.
- Accessible and equitable public transportation is crucial, meaning affordable fares, comprehensive service, and accommodations for all, regardless of income, ability, or location. This includes creating a sustainable network that seamlessly connects buses, trains, and pedestrian/bike-friendly infrastructure.
