The reason why the subsidy for public transit is terrible is it doesn’t increase ridership. It rewards rather than incentivizes. So instead of spending $200 per rider on a tax break you could instead spend it on transit.
Same with the sports tax credits they don’t increase participation. So fund infrastructure for sports or subsidize entry at time of registration or subsidize lower income.
I agree the home Reno one as part of a CO2 reduction platform may be worthwhile.
