abstract="This article provides an overview of the trend in cities across the U.S. to utilize more light rail systems for public transit. Currently, light rail systems operate over 542 miles of track in 19 U.S. cities. Additionally, 190 other cities are either in the process of constructing or have plans to build light rail lines in their communities. It is hoped that this popular mode of urban transit will fill a niche in growing communities that are seeking to reduce traffic congestion, diversify their transportation options, and support economic development.<p />",
