I just got this link from my dad who is a city planner.
I think Bush is trying to throw money at something he doesn't understand.
From the website:
"Congestion Initiative Overview
Transportation system congestion is one of the single largest threats to our nations economic prosperity and way of life. Whether it takes the form of cars and trucks stalled in traffic, cargo stuck at overwhelmed seaports, or airplanes circling over crowded airports, congestion costs America almost an estimated $200 billion a year. In 2005, Americans lost 4.2 billion hours and 2.9 billion gallons of fuel sitting just in road traffic jams. Congestion is also affecting the quality of life in America by robbing us of time that could be spent with families and friends and in participation in civic activities.
The Bush Administration does not believe that this is an inevitable fate.
The National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network (the Congestion Initiative) is premised on the fact that there exist innovative and demonstrated strategies that more efficiently and effectively provide relief to traffic gridlock than current practice. These options include technologies such as congestion pricing and high-speed open road tolling, and the billions of dollars in private capital available for investment in public infrastructure."
