More transit funding in the stimulus package

Elana Schor at TPM has a good note on environmentalists pointing out that way too much money in the stimulus package is going towards highways, potentially large new highway projects, rather than towards rail projects.  While I'd be thrilled if a little of that ended up in the East End Connector, my guess is that most of those highway projects are not quite so oriented towards dense development and are likely loop roads and other sprawl inducing projects.

Given the choice, I'd be much happier of some of that transit money came in and hit the bus system or jumpstarted the TTA's rail plans.  James Oberstar of Minnesota is making quite the fuss over this, and just needs some backup.  I don't know our representatives' positions on this, but a phone call to tell them that you support more transit and less highway funding in the stimulus bill certainly can't hurt.
