Among them:'This is a clear commitment from Congress, and we're ready to get construction under way and bring DART rail to new customers.' -- Gary Thomas, president of Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which received $260 million.
'Unfortunately, Congress missed opportunities to help families deal with rising gas prices, curb the nation's growing oil dependency and accelerate efforts to reduce climate-altering emissions. The leadership ... now shifts to governors, mayors, county executives.' -- Anne P. Canby, president of the Surface Transportation Policy Project, which advocates walkability.
