Cities should receive credits for reducing speeds limits to 20 mph to enable neighborhood electric vehicles. Cities and counties should receive clean air credits for coordinating landuse decisions within a 1/4 mile of a transit center to better the bottom line of the agency and remove the structural deficit.
Transportation corridors should use electric buses. This is because the global warming problem has been left to fester too long and the alternate fuel issues are not viable any more. San Francisco has proved that electric buses are cheap reliable and Zero Emission Buses. Programs like the Grand Boulevard are ideal places for ZEB. The Grand Boulevard is also an opportunity to make the land use partnership that will ensure a sustainable revenue stream to the transit agency.
We need a floor tax on gasoline to ensure that alternatives continue to be developed. If oil drops below $75 a barrel the tax should kick in. The last year shows the clear benefits of high gas prices to reduce global warming with choice.
