To start hearing people come out and speak about transit in this way is excellent. The climate has clearly changed. By the time Obama is done with this country we will hardly recognize it. www.switchingmodes.com
Illinois needs to tax behaviors that are popular but inefficient or bad. One of those is having one person drive in a car. Illinois could use the drivers desire to use his car to provide funds for more efficient transportation, thereby increasing revenue for the state and making the economy more efficient.
