Want a Faster, More Reliable Commute?
Target: New York Traffic CommissionSponsored by: Campaign for New York's Future
Think your commute is bad now? Add a million more people to the equation and we might have a transportation meltdown! We need a plan that will keep New York City moving, make public transportation faster and more reliable, cut traffic and reduce air pollution and global warming emissions. And now we have that plan: a modified congestion pricing program.
Tell your state legislators to pass congestion pricing and reduce traffic, cut commute times, and fund public transportation across all neighborhoods.

I visit New York City periodically, always by train and transit. But even trains and subways are getting full, and there need to be more of them, and more tracks for them to run on. So a London-style Congestion Charge for vehicles, which is designed to both discourage car use (thereby reducing congestion), as well as raise needed funds for transit and transportation improvements, should be developed in Manhattan, and perhaps other congested areas in the Tri-State region. I think it is time that road users paid for the costs of accommodating their vehicles, just as we train and transit users have long been paying towards the costs of accommodating us as we travel to and within the city. So please make Manhattan a nicer place to visit, live, and work -- enact a Congestion Pricing Zone!

My wife and I complain all the time that there are not enough HOV lanes to force people to use transit or find riders. No one will have a little inconvienence unless forced to do so. Quit pampering the public. Put so much tax on gas that the petrolium companies won't be walking away with so much and we will have money for mass transit or health care caused by the polution.
