Should the federal government invest in urban, commuter rail infrastructure?

Transit absolutely needs more funding, but it makes more sense to be on a municipal or provincial level

Yes, but make sure that their is a plan on part of municipal governments, as well as the ridership and tax base to continue funding this project.

Cities should handle this issue

Yes, but do it in partnership with cities and provinces.

Only local and/or provincial governments when it comes to inter provincial travel. Federal can be involved when inter-provincial.

Allow Provinces to look at how the spending should be handled and offer them supports if required.

No, this should be a provincial thing

Yes, but it shouldn't be to so much detriment to the citizens (traffic, blocking businesses)

Yes but it should not be prioritized

Should be provincial jurisdiction

The government should invest in commuter urban rail transposition. Trains are a great alternative to using cars. There should be more options to get around in cities such as monorail, train, subway and what not. Cities shouldn't be built around cars it's dystopian.

Yes, but the job should be done by private companies

Yes but, only if other social support programs are not axed to accomplish it.

Vital services should be nationalized

Assist projects that are in the national interest

Provinces/territories and the fed should contribute

Depends. Not at the cost of the environment.

Yes, but only in municipalities that meet population growth and densification targets

We should work toward making private vehicles more affordable, lower the price of gasoline and expand roadways to be more commuter friendly.

No, that’s municipal jurisdiction

Yes, although degrowth or build-down would be best

Add funds as the province and city decides what projects to pursue.

This type of infrastructure is best kept in cities

This should be left to the municipalities

No, private sector or municipal and provincial governments are to handle that

I think the government should invest in public transport, but what kind of transport should be up to each city, whether they want commuter rails or not.

no they clearly suck at it

Yes, but transportation services should be a revenue source

as long as it can be done safely.

Yes, but it has to be environmentally friendly and be used to housed the homeless

Yes, but only if it is environmentally friendly

Yes, but only after we drastically reduce the deficit

Regardless, this is an issue for provincial or local governments and/or the private sector

Yes, and we should build walkable cities.

Not a federal issue. City / Prov should

Yes, and all transportation services should be state-owned

Yes, and it should extend to all of Canada, rural or urban.

Yes, and we should build a high speed rail network that runs nation wide.

Should be left to the local government

Yes and electrify existing infrastructure

That's a municipal or provincial concern, not federal.

Yes, but only in place where population will support the use of such infrastructure

No, this should be handled at either the provincial or municipal levels of government

Yes as long as it's eco friendly

I don't think that should be high priority right now

If people use it

When do we get those tubes from Futurama

Maybe in the future but I don't see a need for it at the moment
