Portland's War on Cars: The Cost of Anti-Auto Planning

from Clark County Today News

Since Portland stopped building freeways in 1982, commuter congestion time has tripled and fuel wasted in traffic has sextupled to 34.7 million gallons per year. Cascade Policy Institute's Randal O'Toole examines how decades of anti-auto planning have backfired, with transit ridership falling and solo driving at record highs. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-portlands-war-on-cars-part-1/ #Portland #Transportation #AntiAutoPlanningPortland #CascadePolicyInstitute #TrafficCongestion #Opinion #LightRail #Bikelanes #PacificNorthwest #TransportationPolicy
