Have the people that use it pay for it.

Radical concept.

Train, bus, taxi, private car, truck, highway, local road . . . you use. You pay for it. (bike and walking paths)\\

It is amazing how many Freepers want the roads paid for by everyone.

Do you seriously want to go back to cow paths and Indian trails “improved” by local toll road companies with toll gates every 5 miles?

I think it more accurate to say that many FReepers want funds raised for roads (I.e., gasoline taxes, car registration fees, etc.) actually be used for building and maintaining roads and not diverted to a million other pet projects of the politicians. Hell, I’d even go for higher gasoline taxes if ALL gasoline taxes were guaranteed to go for roads. But much of that money is siphoned off to go to mass transit, parks, bike paths, green energy boondoggles and many other things.
