Concrete is an integral component in the construction of public transit and rail facilities nationwide. Because of its superior strength, durability, versatility, economy, and availability, concrete has been the material of choice for construction of transit guideways, subways, stations, maintenance, and ancillary facilities that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Regardless of mode, virtually every facet of modern transportation systems features concrete as the principal construction material.
