Welcome back, cferrejo. The new money is supposed to go road and bridge repair and to community transportation needs, as well as to big MTA projects, but MTA costs have definitely gotten a lot of attention. Do you have suggestions for what the legislature in Albany should do about this?

Most New Yorkers (including the middle class) do not drive into the Manhattan CBD district on a regular basis.The middle class instead suffers from slow buses, pollution, and increased prevalence of collisions due to congestion.Tolls would reduce congestion in the core and along all paths into the core.

A car is a personal choice that has so many impacts on those around you and an extensive network of social costs. To say that you shouldn't share in the cost of your decision is to pass the costs of your personal choices onto the larger public. What is really criminal is that I'm subsidizing your use of an automobile that is one of the greatest sources of carbon emissions in this country, occupies the majority of our road space-both in travel and in parking, all while giving me no benefit. Please start paying your fare share!

Hi cferrejo, thanks for your comment and welcome to the discussion. What do you think would be the best method of training and informing bikers and pedestrians of the proper rules of the road?
