    The one thing that I've noticed missing... (none / 0) (#1)

    ...from your post is one of the most glaring omissions: shifting transportation funding away from mass transit and back towards road maintenance.

    Mass transit has never been able to stand on its own.

    Take AMTRACK. Take SMART. Take D-DOT.

    Let's go back even further, take the DSR?

    Not familiar with them?

    I'm not surprised, it was a local government subsidized train system around the Detroit-Area until the 1950's.

    Bottom line: Raise bus fares and use those monies to wean mass transit off of the state's purse.

    Use those monies to fix/maintain our roads and you won't need to raise the gas tax or registration fees.
