Opinion: Newsom administration makes traffic congestion worse
At the onset of COVID-19, many of us were utilizing zoom calls, taking advantage of remote work and learning, and limiting travel to necessities. Congestion on state highways and local roads declined, and public transit ridership hit an all-time low. But as the economy recovers and we learn to adjust to this COVID endemic, many parents, students, first responders, health care providers and construction workers don’t have the option to work remotely.
Over-regulation and inefficient project delivery systems are the traditional answers. But one new, significant reason is that under the Newsom Administration, traffic congestion is considered a positive thing—that annoying back up of red lights, stop-and-go cars and trucks is designed and perpetuated to force you to get out of your car and take some other form of transportation—a bus, train, bike, or carpool.
