National Journal Honors
The Public Purpose Website
National Journal, perhaps the most prestigious public policy periodical in the United States, selected The Public Purpose
as one of the four top transporation related websites, in its 8 December 2001 issue.
The other four cited websites were:
www.dot.gov - US Department of Transportation
www.oig.dot.gov - US Department of Transportation Inspector General
www.publicpurpose.com - The Public Purpose
www.transact.org - Surface Transportation Policy Project
The article reviewed 10 websites, including six government and four non-government sites. In describing The Public Purpose, National Journal
said:
Maintained by transportation consultant Wendell Cox, this site serves as the conservative response to such sites as www.transact.org. It provides
articles and reports debunkiing arguments for "smart growth": It also criticizes the claims made for intercity passenger rail. Moreover, it stores
a cornucopia of transportation and demographic statitistics; for example it offers data examining U.S. ridership for rail , buses and airplanes.
Much of the demographic data and land use/smart growth material is now maintained on the related Demographia
website.
