Establish more Amtrak/rail service throughout the country, reducing the need for cars. Use federal funds to build new lines and mandate that the pricing for Amtrak be affordable. We can transfer the use of the funds currently subsidizing the oil industry to do this. Also, establish pedestrian/bicycle lanes so that bicycling becomes a safe and realistic option.
Why is this important?
Advocate for more rail service lines,for Amtrak to recieve federal funds to build such and then be mandated to offer affordable pricing. This will greatly reduce the need for cars. Trains are less polluting than cars or buses.
Also, mandate funding for bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Establish a carpooling list for those unable to travel via trains/bicycles.
