John Bell on Transportation
"Prince Williams Residents have the worst commute in America" -Washington Post
Bob Marshall has spent his time pursuing a rigid social agenda and has ignored our transportation problems. Now we're all paying the price with long stressful commutes everyday.
As a commuter John Bell believes we need to:
- Pursue transportation solutions that ensure Virginia no longer faces a transportation funding death spiral. www.itstimevirginia.org/Index.aspx
- Increase transportation investment to get Virginia out of a “maintenance only” status.
- Propose VDOT adoption of the Practical Design Concept pioneered by the State of Missouri in order to maximize investment funding. To view Missouri's Practical Design Concept visit their website: www.modot.mo.gov/business/PracticalDesign.htm
- Find solutions that require little to no funding, such as creating a “Slug West” program to export the popular practice of ridesharing used on the I-395 corridors to I-66 and the Dulles Toll Road.
- Pursue policies that provide incentives for companies that offer regular telecommuting.
