Transportation. Progressive strategies and priorities must be established. The Legislature should seek creative ways to improve traffic flow and reduce the number of accidents along Interstate 10, especially between Tucson and Phoenix, and to develop a mass transit system with funding mechanisms, including a gas-tax increase and toll roads.
Transportation is complex. We don't expect all of the transportation challenges to be solved by May, but we do expect strategies and steps to upgrade Arizona's transportation infrastructure be put into motion.
Does this actually mean Arizona's thinking of funding choo-choos and buses with higher gasoline taxes and tolls on drivers?
If they are anything like Pennsylvania, they collect taxes and tolls for the "transportation" fund, but prefer to use it for inner city buses, mass transit in the biggest city in the state, and bike / hike trails in the rest of the state...
