We’ve all experienced the frustration of traffic congestion. Just imagine what it might be like in forty years or so when our population has doubled. Without bold action, we’ll become less mobile. Our economy, which is based on the transport of goods and people, will suffer. And we’ll have even less time for our families and other priorities.

To stay mobile in the future, we’ll need more transportation choices. That means good roads and freeways using congestion-reducing technologies, and a dynamic public transportation system.

We’ll need more residential and employment centers near transit stops and key road corridors, which will reduce commutes and encourage more use of public transportation. We’ll save money and time and be more productive at work.
