Benefits of public transportation
In our community, public transportation is making a real difference in the daily lives of individuals and households. For some, it provides a choice; for others it is a necessity. It connects people with health care, education, work, shopping, recreational activities, or with friends and family. Public transportation use lowers household expenses and frees up more income for other needs. Public transportation helps lead the CNMI toward its goals of protecting the environment, conserving energy, and providing for the health, safety, and security of its residents. (COTA)
