Transit Subsidies

Transit subsidies are financial support provided by governments or organizations to help reduce the cost of public transportation for individuals or groups. This support can take the form of discounts, reimbursements, or direct funding to transit agencies, making it more affordable for people to use buses, trains, and other transit services. The goal is to encourage public transit use, decrease traffic congestion, reduce pollution, and promote accessible transportation options for all. Essentially, transit subsidies lower the cost barrier, making it easier and more affordable for people to choose public transportation instead of personal vehicles.
