How to ease traffic jams: place $100 tolls on most roads. Easy, done! (Liberals always tax their way around problems.)
I would suggest this. If anyone could figure a way to run a monorail-like railway system from Richmond up to the DC area where you could park your car (for free) and ride the 109 miles in 35 minutes, then you’d see an entire massive change in traffic flow, and a lot of people finally moving out of the DC region.
