Arlington promoting 'next generation of transit'

As existing streetcar lines continue to struggle, Arlington County officials are forging ahead with plans for their impending lines, even spending thousands of dollars to create a video promoting them.

Officials spent $3,400 to make a video called “the next generation of transit,” because they felt there was a general “lack of public awareness and education” surrounding the streetcars, said Arlington spokeswoman Shannon Whalen McDaniel.
