The drive between Phoenix and Tucson doesn’t have to take five hours. Traffic congestion is a type of shortage (too many cars, too little space on the road), and if you’ll remember from Economics 101, a shortage occurs “when the price of an item is set below the going rate determined by supply and demand”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_shortage

So the most simple and cheap solution is to stop the government from setting an artificially low price of travel. That will permanently eliminate traffic congestion, at the lowest cost to taxpayers, and here’s proof: according to the United States Congressional Budget Office, the SR-91 express toll lanes in Orange County, California “generate net social benefits of at least $12 million per year, compared with a scenario in which the lanes had been built but drivers did not pay to use them.” http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/97xx/doc9750/Chapter2.6.1.shtml

When that’s in place, the benefits of rail will be easier to compare against freeways.

Most of the writing was simply notes from Derek Neighbors, and I just arranged ‘em to look pretty. But (*blushing*), I do appreciate the props. It was great working on a project about something that means so much to me.

And thanks for all you did to drive the #WhyGP campaign, Katie. You should be very proud of the results!

After listening to a program on NPR, I am convinced that Arizona would greatly benefit from a passenger rail from Phoenix to Tucson. I have not lived in AZ for long, but have heard of many tragic accidents that occur on I-10. I think that this system could save many people time, money, and possibly lives.

The time is now.
