That affected all the lines because of slower boarding and congestions. We had trains stacked.

Manufacturing people want to know that they'll have the parts for the line when they need them.

Both sides of the operation now have full visibility into all the inventory in the enterprise.

Chad Collins

Public sector property management requires specialist expertise. In the public sector property is often held in support of a core function, such as roading needs for Transit, rather than as an investment vehicle, this requires specialist management.

Sen. Margarita Prentice

She'll either have to pay full price out of pocket or travel somewhere, perhaps, only a few miles away. But what if she doesn't drive and doesn't live on any major mass transit route?

John Whalen

RAILROAD, n. The chief of many mechanical devices enabling us to get away from where we are to wher we are no better off. For this purpose the railroad is held in highest favor by the optimist, for it permits him to make the transit with great expedition.

While there have been improvements in the past year, clearly the transit authority still has a long way to go.

Oleksiy Ivchenko

It's unbelievable. With the background we had on that transit center parking lot, now this soil ends up in a residential neighborhood. How?

Councilwoman Shari Mackin

They're in transit they don't know how long they're going to be in the apartments they're in. The uncertainty and the unknown and no final decisions being made is really having an impact on these individuals. That's why we're pushing the system as hard as we can to try to get those answers.

Tom O'brien

We are making it work. It is becoming an effective people-moving transit system.

Joe North

It's a challenging period. It's clear that our transit system is a ripe target [for terrorism], if we have learned anything from London and Madrid. The good thing is that these suspicious packages are spotted and found. The increased NYPD presence definitely helps. However, the MTA leaves a lot to be desired. They are slow to recognize the need to harden the system against potential attacks.

John Liu

I don't know of any transit system in the U.S. that does not have some form of subsidy. The amount, I don't know yet.

One year from now, in December of '06, unless there's a funding solution for more dedicated funds for transit statewide, we will literally run out of money. That's the situation we're in.

O.b. Goolsby

Transit buses are an excellent application for hybrid propulsion systems, because buses consume significantly more fuel than cars or light trucks and they are often utilized in stop-and-go city traffic.

Keith Moore

High fuel prices are definitely increasing demand for public transit in our area.

Bill Cartwright

Many New Yorkers, rightly or wrongly, feel that the union's case is not as strong as it might be because they don't have very good pensions themselves.

Robert Snyder

We have to get the [Federal Transit Administration] to sign off on the funds. We expect it to be running in a week or so.

Ultimately this bill would mean new roads, new schools and new mass transit along with thousands of new jobs throughout the state.

Becky Carroll

The voters have done the heavy lifting by voting for the monorail four times, ... We are not afraid of the voters. That's where this project comes from. What I am worried about is the endless planning loop that keeps us from building a citywide transit system.

Kristina Hill

We are adding parking and a signal at the south entrance of the campus, but as we've seen with the new Kenilworth Junior High School, increased traffic will have an impact. Fortunately, unlike Kenilworth students, our students will not all be arriving and departing at the same time. And we'll be encouraging everyone to take mass transit and carpool.

Doug Garrison

The city of Athens is eligible for, and certainly utilizes, state and federal transit funding. The university is not eligible for those, so combining with the city has that advantage. It is my theory that if the city uses its transit dollars and ability to get grant money, and the university uses a minor student fee, we should be able to build a more useful system and promote it.

Carol Patterson

We believe that economic development subsidies for job creation -- if they are serious about reducing poverty -- must be better integrated with public transit. These projects demonstrate many ways that localities are making that connection.

The public needs to have trust and feel good about its public transit system, ... Linda gives the agency the credibility it needed. She has done a terrific job.

Buddy Dyer

This is in-transit oil that didn't hit the market last week.

We have agreed to give orders to respective structures to intensify t he talks on deliveries and transit of Russia's gas to Ukraine.

Mikhail Fradkov

Jim Bennett

It's ironic that these rail cars could be assembled in the United States where a law exists that requires American content when U.S. federal tax dollars are used in a transit project.

Sean Mckenny

It encourages development where residents have services, shops, jobs and access to transit within walking distance of their homes.

Scott Mills

The potential is there for a California solution. I think other rail transit agencies around the state would be interested in our results.

Jim Allison

This is a significant corridor for commuter and freight traffic. We're certain there will be a need for enhanced transit there over the next five years. We need to be assured strategies are in place to meet the growing need as it appears less and less likely there will be a monorail serving this corridor.

Richard Conlin

If I'm sitting down to design an intown transit network for Atlanta, this route would just not leap out at the top of my priority list.

Gas is not flowing . . . through some transit routes, which can lead to a fall in pressure in all the pipelines and limit the overall supply of gas to Ukraine and Europe.

Eduard Zaniuk

Gas is not flowing at all through some transit routes, which can lead to a fall in pressure in all the pipelines and limit the overall supply of gas to Ukraine and Europe.

Eduard Zaniuk

Put the investment into transit and bike paths, into walking and buses, and allowing people to live downtown as well as just work and shop there.

Earl Blumenauer
