Massachusetts Government Wising Up About Transportation
The Boston Globe reports that the Romney administration is taking a more critical look at their transportation policies. Measures under consideration include giving higher-ranking employees Ford Tauruses rather than SUVs, giving lower-level employees Zipcar accounts instead of dedicated vehicles, and encouraging the placement of government offices near transit nodes rather than in strip malls or office parks. These would be welcome moves; not only would they be setting a better example, but they’d also be making more effective use of my tax dollars.
