This interactive map, created by the Center for Public Integrity, plots the nearly 1,800 public and private groups nationwide that are lobbying on transportation. Most of these groups — primarily cities, counties, transit agencies, or development and construction interests — are looking for congressional help to fund projects like new highways and transit systems. You can find a more detailed description of what’s included in the map in the “How To Use This Map” section, as well as information on how you can help the Center investigate projects proposed for your area.
