The Ventura County Board of Supervisors agreed to a new transportation policy calling for increased use of alternative forms of transportation.
"On Tuesday, supervisors unanimously agreed that the county's transportation policy should embrace increased use of bicycles, buses, trains and carpools and move away from a dependency on cars.
Although the vote provides neither money nor specifics, it sends a message that Ventura County will address traffic congestion in ways different from the past, said board Chairwoman Linda Parks, coauthor with Supervisor Steve Bennett of the measure."
"Supervisors did not address how the transportation goals, to be written into the county's growth guidelines, would fit into a broader regional transportation network that relies heavily on freeways and road building to accommodate growth."
