Filling out the census helps local sustainability and environmental justice by supporting public transportation. Cities wanting to step in a green direction by financing or expanding public transportation are waiting on census data to increase the year-to-year funding fueling most cities’ transportation infrastructure. Census data is also used to inform funding for: Emergency Watershed Protection Program, Hazardous Waste Management State Program Support, the Wildlife Restoration Program, and water pollution control grants.
