Transportation 4 America has recently released a report studying all 372 of the Urbanized Areas in the United States to see what we need to do all across the country to achieve the level of public transit service found across much of the rest of the world (on average, it's 20% or less compared to most other similar sized cities and communities - for Concord, it's less than 10%).

Check out the link below to see what we have here in Concord today, and what it would take to get the Concord Urbanized Area up to World Class levels of public transit access and service.
