TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND PAYING FOR OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES:

Realizing that there are millions of households that own two or more cars in America, it is time that these households start paying their fair share for their use of, and for the additional wear-and-tear that they inflict on, our roads, highways, and bridges.

If a household registers more than one vehicle, they should be assessed a significantly higher property tax for each car registered after the first one.

This new policy would help to reduce the number of cars on the road, and to increase the funding needed to update and improve all of our transportation systems.

Additional ideas for improving our transportation systems can be found in the new book, "HOW TO LIVE WELL WITHOUT OWNING A CAR" by Chris Balish.
