Thomas McKernan, president and CEO of the Automobile Club of Southern California, writes that increasing traffic, collapsing roadways, and insufficient public transit are symptoms of an all-encompassing state transportation problem that may soon rival California's energy crisis. As the number of miles traveled increases and freeway congestion worsens, quality of life for all Californians suffers, he states. McKernan calls for new, creative ways of addressing the state's transportation problem, which he believes can only be resolved through new approaches to transportation spending. Speaking on behalf of the Automobile Club of Southern California, McKernan calls for smart budgeting strategies and full legislative attention for this bipartisan issue in order to avoid an impossible transportation situation.
