The US federal government has announced $100 million in transit aid for cities hosting FIFA World Cup games. The grants can be used for everything from purchasing new buses to providing shuttle service for World Cup attendees and providing transportation options for fans with disabilities. While the funds have been specifically intended to aid with the influx of travelers expected as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico host the World Cup, some changes could benefit local residents long after the matches. Public transportation has many benefits over private automobile use, including less urban sprawl, better air quality, and fewer traffic accidents.
