Our goal was to completely change transportation. Change traffic. And make it possible to get anywhere you want to go without owning a car.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How we fund transportation in this country is broken. You all pay a gasoline tax, right? Well, cars go farther, we get electric cars, and so on. And then we do more with the money than just build roads. We do bike lanes and mass transit.
States get to improve transportation infrastructure; that creates economic development, puts people back to work and, most important, enhances safety and improves local communities.
You have got to connect your land use decisions with transportation decisions.
The Transportation Empowerment Act paves the way for better roads, easier commutes, and more family time.
Until the people, by amendment, change the constitution, I urge that the counties cooperate with one another, that future road work be more uniform, and done in such a way that it will result in connected and continuous highways.
Car ownership as we know it will change. The promise of car ownership of the past, the freedom of open roads... the reality has been more of a burden.
The auto industry must acknowledge that a rational transportation policy should seek a balance between individual convenience, the efficient use of limited resources, and urban-living values that protect spaciousness, natural beauty, and human-scale mobility.
In the same way we have a long-term plan for building roads, we have to have a long term plan to build transit.
I envision a future without traffic accidents or congestion. A future where everyone can use a car.
Why is it we want one car to do everything?
