Recent work by the New York Times and the United States Conference of Mayors shows that large cities often get far short of what they should in stimulus spending (based on population and economic activity) by state officials that are more concerned with spreading the money around instead of focusing on greatest need. It's a real shame because research by the Texas Transportation Institute estimates Americans waste over 4 billion hours a year stuck in traffic. Talk about inefficiencies. You would think that alone (not to mention the millions of gallons of gas wasted each year by idling engines) to spur the demand for more mass transit.
