Push at federal, state, and local levels to improve communication and transportation infrastructure in America's cities.

Created by M.M. on December 05, 2011

Urban Internet and mass transit systems in the United States pale in comparison to much of the modern world.

While it is important to extend Internet access to Americans who live in remote areas, improving services within America's cities could provide a greater return on investment. Steps should be taken to improve the speed and quality of Internet access while lowering its cost in order to bring American cities in line with other 21st century cities.

American cities are clogged by single passenger cars on low quality roads; this administration should make it a priority to move the country towards more mass transit, and less wasted time in traffic.
