I Can’t Believe I’m Saying This

I actually find myself agreeing with U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters.

No, not when she says that bicycle paths aren’t transportation infrastructure.

But in yesterday’s O, she has a letter to the editor pointing out that increasing gas taxes would not help deal with congestion.

She’s right, congestion pricing would be a much better way to go. So are progressives (because it incents desirable policy outcomes) and conservatives (because it’s market-based) going to find middle ground on congestion pricing?
