well ...global warming is a worldwide issue... that won't be solved by what happens in Washington - in isolation.

I'm not dismissing it - only saying that it's a much bigger context than regional HOT Lanes.

As far as alternatives - don't they have to be ones that people willingly choose?

That's what's behind the HOT Lanes.

It's up to each individual to figure out what they want to do - different.. carpool, transit, telecommute, move, etc... or a combination ...

what the planners are trying to accomplish is to PRESERVE as much basic transportation utility that they can by taking actions that will manage the congestion - to keep the remaining utility from essentially being destroyed - i.e. made unreliable and undependable.

What else should the planners do? That's was my real question about reasonable alternatives.

What are the reasonable alternatives for the folks making decisions about the regions transportation network - other than HOT Lanes?
