On an average day in Rochester over 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS vanish from the local economy. That money isn’t being abducted by extraterrestrials – it’s what we voluntarily burn on gasoline.
We have the power to reinvest those dollars back into Rochester’s economy by using public transit as an alternative to driving whenever possible.

Bravo! The worst part of Rochester is how it’s so automobile-centric. Massive waste of money, time, and resources, and definitely doesn’t contribute to the beauty of the city. I am excessively proud to say that I don’t own a car under my name, for the first time in years (sold mine recently). ^.^
