    www.transportation.org - American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials

The National Journal described The Public Purpose as follows:
    Wendell Cox battles smart growth advocates on his Web Site, the Public Purpose. He challenges transit proponents with statistics and analysis, such as a table contending that most proposed transit systems are more expensive to build and operate than the cost of leasing a car for every potential passenger in perpetuity. Cox's ally Ronald Utt offers further transportation thoughts at heritage.org/research/smartgrowth

Note: Much of the demographic data and land use/smart growth material is now maintained on the related Demographia website.
