Let's Clearup Traffic Congestion!

For all those people that have experienced the traffic congestion in central Texas yearn for the government to do something about it. We talk about Central Texas transportation issues and think of many solutions to solve it but the changes never took into place. Traffic congestion is not like the weather, we have the control over it. I believe we need to get together and treat this as a region’s traffic problem not just a downtown Austin problem. We need easier access to all the different regions that we are heading towards like MoPac Boulevard (loop 1) and the northbound lanes of Interstate 35.

Everyone is hungry for better access, for a system that connects them to all places they need and want to go. What we need is a regional transit system, one that connects all areas of our region such as one that uses the right system for the connections, whether commuter rail, light rail, ultra light rail, streetcars, trolleys, express buses, bus rapid transit or local bus. We should really use the existing rail lines to add commuter rail from Elgin/Manor to Austin. We need to link Georgetown/Round Rock and Austin using a commuter. Then finally we need a link from downtown to Austin-Berg storm International Airport. The new, wide open roads and trafficking will help clear up alot of traffic congestion. With all these positive changes everyone will be much happier and safer. We will wake up next day for work and will not be hesitant to get onto Interstate 35 or onto any other regions.
