Incentives, Mass
Transportation and Sustainable Communities
|
| There are tremendous opportunities for developing incentives for shifting away from high consumption and automobile-centered systems to sustainable systems where people use alternate forms of transportation or rearrange their communities so that less transportation is necessary. The most simple of such incentives is a fuel tax that would generate revenues that would subsidize public transportation and the reinvention of communities and economies.
