The real blame for congestion is free parking. If there was no where to park, people wouldn't drive.

Let me guess, if all the space wasted on tracks and bike paths was instead used for more highways there would be less (no) congestion?
And that's a pretty weird looking internet address, OP.

So let me get this straight, a political think-tank funded by the automotive industry says that we should have more cars on the roads.

It baffles me why people are baffled by this. This is how the system works, idiot.

> "No matter how much money we spend on trains—an obsolete, 19th-century technology—they will never make more than a minor contribution toward the area’s transportation needs. Currently transit (i.e., trains and buses) accounts for only 1.4% of passenger miles, and virtually no freight miles,"
> "Before long, driverless automobiles are predicted to add dramatically to the carrying capacity of our roads and highways. It would be foolish to invest billions in unneeded, 19th-century fixed rail technology when we are about to experience a transportation revolution."

>The American Transportation Research Institute recently identified the 100 worst bottlenecks in the U.S. The Twin Cities had four, more than Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, or any other urban area except Atlanta and Houston.
How much do those areas invest into non-car traffic?
