Rapid Bus lanes that exist in other parts of the world have been shown to be an effective way to increase mass-transit utilization and lessen the impact on highways and roadways, which in turn saves tax dollars on roadway repairs, the author writes.
The New Jersey Bus Association, of which I am president, supports efforts to make our streets and roadways safer and most importantly efficient. We strongly support Rapid Bus lanes as a way to decrease congestion and carbon emissions and to increase efficiencies.
We do all this by taking tens of thousands of cars off the roads that would otherwise create congestion and contribute to higher carbon emissions. Rapid Bus lanes that exist in other parts of the world have been shown to be an effective way to increase mass-transit utilization and lessen the impact on highways and roadways, which in turn saves tax dollars on roadway repairs. Nor do they necessitate expansion; they can be added to existing infrastructure. In Brazil, where World Cup and Olympic events were held, commute times were cut by 50 percent and ridership increased by 2 million on a daily basis.
