A proposal to provide energy efficient cars for all travel by low-income transit riders for less than the cost of transit subsidies is further refined.
Following a popular editorial, Why Not Just Buy Them Cars, Wendell Cox develops a 'Frequently Asked Questions' and projects the costs of actually implementing the program.
Cox writes: "There are at least two related reasons to consider providing automobiles to low-income transit riders. The most important is introduced above -- that automobility improves employmentopportunities and the prospects for entry into the economicmainstream for low-income households. But first, there is the issueof transit's exorbitant costs."
"Todd Litman (Victoria Transport Policy Institute) produces calculations to show that letting low-income people drive would require billions in new highway investment. The implication is that low-income citizens should be denied opportunity to keep traffic congestion from getting worse. I strongly disagree with this view. If more traffic congestion is the price of greater opportunity, then so be it. Moreover, as indicated above,comparatively little additional highway investment would be needed."
