starting in the late 20th century and continuing into the 21st century, many cities across the country began creating new public transportation systems. after many public transportation systems, such as streetcars, were scrapped in cities starting in the 1950s, the automobile dominated america's urban transportation network. however, many cities, especially in the 21st century, have started creating new, rebuilding, or expanding public transportation systems to help combat problems like traffic congestion and air pollution from all of the commuting vehicles. many cities have added new light rail systems, such as phoenix's valley metro rail or charlotte's lynx blue line. other cities have heavily expanded their already existing transportation networks with new lines, such as the expo line that opened in 2012 in los angeles. modern streetcars have been built in various cities across america recently as well, including the atlanta streetcar and the dallas streetcar. some cities though have rebuilt their heritage streetcars in the 21st century, such as tampa with its teco line streetcar system that opened in 2002. new commuter rail systems have been built in a bunch of cities too like orlando's sunrail or seattle's sounder commuter rail. overall though, public transportation has been an important issue for 21st century american cities, and as a result there has been a large amount of focus on building or expanding various public transportation systems within urban areas.
