Comment |
As a concerned California citizen, I believe the majority of the proceeds from the Cap and Trade program should be invested in transitioning the state transportation system from a road centric and car centric system to one that prioritizes public transportation and alternative modes of transportation, such as bike commuting and walking. I believe that by investing in relatively inexpensive improvements, such as complete streets and separated bike lanes, the State can help entice people from their cars and into lower cost modes. Investment in better public transportation would do the same. Investments in Bus Rapid Transit and light rail would make commuting easier and cheaper for California citizens in the long run. Spending money on widening freeways and upgrading roads for more cars is a waste - California should use this opportunity to get ahead of the curve and move beyond the single user automobile. |
