The secretary of transportation says a "monthly mobility dividend" could be in the nation's longer-term future.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg suggested that transitioning to a "monthly transportation payment" from monthly car payments could be in America's future.
Buttigieg also said a "monthly mobility dividend" could lie further out in the future.
"What I mean by that is if we're looking way out into the future, where we have things like, let's imagine distributed energy generation where you have resources at your house, whether it's a dramatically more efficient, even solar panels and wind resources," Buttigieg said Wednesday at an event hosted by the liberal think tank New America.
"From your home, you can put more into the transportation system than you get out of it through things like energy, so that you would participate in creating so much value that you'd actually get a net dividend on it, instead of paying into it on a net basis," he added. "Now, that's pretty far out."
A "more intermediate goal" in the U.S. would be transitioning from monthly car payments to a "monthly transportation payment that's quite a bit less than a car payment that covers everything," said Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020.
"We're actually seeing certain glimmers of this now," he said. "So some of the rideshare companies, for example, are starting to look at mobility as a service where you have some kind of interface, and it's neutral on whether you're on one of their bikes, or in one of their rideshare things or just on public transit, or some combination thereof, or it even leads to a train ticket or something.

WEF:
“You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.”
🤣😂🤣
Why not just give everyone a Tesla, Mr. Buttigieg? That would solve most of the country’s energy problems overnight.
Wait. That’s not the American way. Let’s give everyone a choice: a Tesla, a Chevy Bolt, or a Nissan Leaf.
E*X*A*C*T*L*Y! This is only for the plebes.
He is saying, in his inarticulate and incompetent way, that he wants to force everyone to pay into a fund for transportation that most of them will never use.
Buttigieg’s vision: You have to pay for a monthly share of communal transportation provided by ... what exactly? But it gets better, since in his concept, everyone gets PAID for consuming magic resources. Do we get free dope with that?
Secretary of Transportation is obviously a demanding job.
Typical queer, living in a fantasy world populated by rainbows, butterflies, unicorns and sexually permissive adolescents.
That dude is a silly butt-pirate. Meh
The wide-eyed stupidity of these people never ceases to amaze me.
sounds like the cusp of “you’ll own nothing and be happy”,
and/or, were going to force you into coal/nuclear powered cars.
What he means is that you will have a monthly mileage allowance. You will program this in advance each month, with each trip planned and perhaps a 10 percent margin for unexpected errands. The government will then assign your ride based on distance, your age, and the availability of various assets in the seamless system.
Ah... Now we see a glimpse into the world of EV’s. The communist Rulers control it all. You take what they give you if they choose to give you anything at all. If you don’t pay or if they don’t like you then you get shut out. They can take your government supplied vehicle or they can cut you off from charging it. And of course your every move is monitored.
Next will be the need for being approved for every trip you take even to the super market.
Enjoy!

They are always looking for ways to pay their voters directly.

sounds like socialized medicine, only socialized transportation ...
In other words, the government controls all movement.
I hated her and Jim.
I liked Stiffler and the female exchange student.
