The State subsidizes driving to the tune of $64 billion every year.

The subsidies vastly favor airports and highways.

We should be trying to reduce subsidies across all modes.

If you are a fiscal conservative, it is a good investment and is a good return on investment.

We ought to do the economic analysis to determine that.

It can't just be--recommendations can't just be imposed by the employer in this aspect, which is important.

why is it taking so long to just get these rules finalized? I mean, any day another accident could happen.

the bottom line is that commuter rail systems need to modernize.

we are talking about converting from a commuter rail system to simply taking people in and out of the city to a regional rail system that will fundamentally get people around the Commonwealth faster.

Of course, we would have a lot fewer road fatalities and traffic deaths in America if we had a better rail system.

I hope that communities will consider using funds to make safety improvements like the Safe Streets, like eliminating crossings, instead of just adding more lanes to highways.

This is a serious issue, but it's something that we're working hard to address.
