Metropolitan Transportation and Roads

Improve capacity. Reduce congestion. Integrate road user charges

Why Smarter Transportation

As one study showed in an annual impact of road congestion: 4.2 billion hours of quality time were lost on roadways in the US alone. 2.9 billion gallons of gas were consumed traveling on city roadways. Think of the hours of quality time, revenue and emissions that could have been saved if a public transit system had been used instead.
