Diagram quality of life People transportation housing health care Employment education
Economic Development • Efficient and inexpensive transportation are the keys to: • Social services • If people do not have reliable transportation, they cannot be a positive role in our local economy • Access to education and jobs
The effects on healthcare • More people going to community centers and hospitals in early stages of illnesses translates to MORE MONEY, right? • WRONG: in the long run, money will be saved because it is cheaper to treat a person before they get worse or spread their illness
FACTS • CATS is budgeted only 2.1 million dollars • Dayton, Ohio budgets 35 million (population of 166,179)
