Transportation

We must reconstruct our national, state and local transportation systems to serve our goals of full employment and access to jobs, affordable communities, and the building of a green economy. The major transportation systems should be publicly owned, democratically planned and involve workers and consumers in their management to make them more efficient.

  • We must create a comprehensive national transportation policy to analyze transportation use and restructure transportation to serve the needs of our people. The various kinds of levels have to be coordinated.
  • We must establish a safe, comfortable, affordable airline service throughout the country without a class seating system and without unreasonable surcharges.
  • We need a national rapid rail system to move both people goods and people across the country.
  • We must have cheap, efficient local public transportation systems that serve communities and make it possible for workers to access jobs.
