AC Transit and the reverse commute thing
Wow. I had no idea how incredibly Byzantine our transportation funding system could be until I had a sit-down with Randy “The Man” Rentschler at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
You know that federal program that was supposed to fund reverse commuting? Well, a reverse commute is what lower-income folks often do to get to service-oriented jobs in the suburbs.
It all goes back to that nagging equity issue, over which a group of bus-rider advocates is suing the MTC in federal court.
