And what is in this bill?
How much for busses?
How much for PRT? Any? I'll bet NONE.
Or is it mostly for LRT down every major business street, destroying them
all?
If my guesses are correct, I hope the bill FAILS.
Please correct my guesses.

I sure hope the Met Council wakes up to this.
This is the wrong target. The legislature and the governor need to be
moved. The Council, unfortunately, carries out the will of the
governor. Transportation Choices 2020 (HF 1735 / SF 1703) is the bill
in the current session
The International Energy Agency is considering a number of measures to reduce
oil consumption fast in order to avoid very destructive economic dislocations
that come with unplanned demand destruction resulting from shortages.
Recommendations? Make public transit free. Reduce car over-use
