I agree that the FTA should measure quantifiable benefits other than reduced travel time. Transportation decisions should strongly consider economic development opportunities and the opportunity to increase "livability" in a community. Increased investment in transit programs can also reduce the reliance on the automobile transportation infrastructure and save all levels of government in the long run.
