Sprawl-planks

* Public transit has deteriorated. 
* I'm committed to a search for a dedicated, sustainable suite of solutions for public transit and overall flow throughout the region.
* Fixing the transit mess requires, at least:
** funding sources,
*** transit's prime source of funding needs to be cared for, its riders and the fares they generate.
*** Allegheny County needs to increase its share of the transit's cost. The county has asked for more money from Pennsylvania but has not increased its own contributions past $25-million per year.
*** UPMC and Pitt, as well as other larger educational and corporate institutions should be stong funding sources for PAT 
***Alternative revenue streams from bus shelters, bus ads, and more need to be examined with creative efforts.
