The city began as a railroad town, and remains a major rail junction and home of major classification yards for Norfolk Southern and CSX. Amtrak provides the only remaining passenger service via its daily Crescent service to cities between New Orleans and New York. Atlanta's subway system, operated by MARTA, is the eighth-busiest in the United States. The rail system is complemented by MARTA's bus system, the 14th-largest in the country. A 2011 Brookings Institution study placed Atlanta 91st of 100 metro areas for transit accessibility. Reliance on cars has resulted in heavy traffic and has helped make Atlanta one of the more polluted cities in the country. The Clean Air Campaign was created in 1996 to help reduce pollution in metro Atlanta. Since 2008, Metro Atlanta has ranked at or near the top of lists of longest average commute times and worst traffic in the country.
