7/13 I really don't see how ZEV or LowEmitV can reduce congestion:

Is the government stupid?
\_ Because when the smog is so bad that you can't see, you have
to drive slower.
\_ It doesn't say ZEV can reduce congestion. It says you can drive
a ZEV to avoid the congestion. -- yuen
\_ CalTrans is trying to encourge people to use ZEV/LEVs. They ahve
stated that they'll kick them back outta the carpool lanes
if/when theres enough of them that the carpool lanes start getting
congested.
\_ one word for CalTrans-- LAME.
\_ Yup...did you guys know that for a while, they were
trying to prevent private companies from taking
public works infrastructure contracts? basically,
they were hogging up all the contracts and not
allowing any private companies to do road and
bridge work. The public was geting screwd
as a result because Caltrans would take all the
contracts and then the work would pile up, they
couldn't handle the load. So stuff just sat around
not getting done. lots of structural companies
were getting together to file a petition to change
something in the state constitution so that Caltrans
couldn't get away with this anymore, but I don't
know if it passed. But yeah, they're messed up.
\_ If allowing a few thousand cars into the carpool lanes which
won't make the lanes any more crowded will encourage more people
to look at low emission vehicle options, it sounds good to me.
I've already seen a lot more people interested in alternative
fuel vehicles as a result of the law. -cdaveb |
