      The one thing that I've noticed missing... (none / 0) (#1)

      ...from your post is one of the most glaring omissions: shifting transportation funding away from mass transit and back towards road maintenance.

      Mass transit has never been able to stand on its own.

      Take AMTRACK. Take SMART. Take D-DOT.

      Let's go back even further, take the DSR?

      Not familiar with them?

      I'm not surprised, it was a local government subsidized train system around the Detroit-Area until the 1950's.

      Bottom line: Raise bus fares and use those monies to wean mass transit off of the state's purse.

      Use those monies to fix/maintain our roads and you won't need to raise the gas tax or registration fees.
