We need more ride-sharing and telecommuting. We also must deal with truck traffic. However, we can t build our way out of congestion. We have to squeeze more capacity out of existing streets and freeways. If a third of county residents live within five miles of their work, getting them to ride pollution free electric scooters or bicycles instead of driving their cars, trucks and SUV s will help alleviate traffic on the freeways for those who must commute longer distances.
Every bit helps and every bit is needed.
