Perhaps its no surprise, but Texas comes in a lousy 34th place for per capita spending on public transportation, according to a new report by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (see our press release here). The report finds that the state of Texas spent a chintzy $1.23 per Texan on public transportation in FY 2006 (compared to #1 Massachusetts, which spent $189 per person - money well spent, if you've ever ridden the 'T")
