      Public transit is a critical part of the economic and social fabric of metropolitan areas. Nearly 30 million trips are made every day using public transit. Almost all of these trips occur in the nation’s 100 largest metro areas, which account for over 95 percent of all transit passenger miles traveled. People take transit for any number of reasons, but one of the most common is to get to work.

      The Hutchins Center Fiscal Impact Measure tracks the influence on fiscal policy on the US GDP growth rates. It measures only the direct impacts of fiscal policy on demand (including both discretionary fiscal policy and automatic stabilizers). It doesn’t include fiscal multipliers nor any supply-side effects, such as the possibility that enhanced unemployment insurance benefits impeded labor supply or that the vaccine rollout increased economic activity.
