In an effort to ensure that CTAA members are familiar with the potential Presidential candidates’ proposed infrastructure policy, we will be releasing key highlights of every candidate’s policy proposals.

If elected, Sanders is promising to enact the following changes to public transportation:

• Spend $526 billion on a new electrical grid across the country
• Create a federal grant and zero-emission vehicle program to create a 100 percent renewable transportation sector
• Provide $407 billion in grants for states to help school districts and transit agencies replace all school and transit buses with electric buses
• Invest $300 billion in building public transit that is affordable, accessible, fast, and resilient. By doing so, Sanders is seeking to increase public transit ridership by 65 percent by 2030.
