Secretary of Transportation LaHood spoke a lot about that during the hearing. You can check out my live-blogging of what they said here: http://fundingourfuture.campusprogress.org/2009/10/live-blog-senate-hearing-on-cejapa-witnesses-chu-jackson-and-more/.

didn’t write as much during the hearing witnesses part because they were way more boring than the ranting senators.

Glad the Obama admin is actually talking about the issue. Whether they are able to act upon it is up to the senate and what kind of transportation bill they produce.

You can attack both problems by making public transit free and putting an end to autosprawl.
