Over-dependence on automobiles leads to gridlock, polluted air, noise, sprawl, loss of scenic vistas, and decimation of habitat for wildlife. To reduce this dependence, more funding should be provided for public transit and rapid transit. A greater proportion of gas taxes should be used for public transportation. Greater use should be made of under-utilized rail lines for passenger services, and more freight should be shifted from highways to more efficient railroads. Newly constructed projects should also be accessible to non-motorists. Outdoor clubs should use public transportation too. [Res. 7, 1997]
