Livability – road use

Panelists:

  • Eric Anderson, Maricopa Association of Governments
  • Peggy Fiandaca, Partners for Strategic Action, Inc.
  • Mary Peters, Former US Secretary of Transportation

 

suggestions to trigger out of the box thinking:

  • usage fee instead of fuel fee? technology enables us to do this now.
  • encouragement for home-offices, telecommuting,
  • taxation of users against imporving mass transport
  • schools and youth getting off roads – should age limit go up? should they be given free bus passes?
  • 20% of road-users are retirees – so people who have to be on roadsat peak times are affected by non-urgency travellers
  • trucks only at night and non-peak hours
  • effective planning by the government that distributes hubs of activty and then connects them by public transit
