Madison looking at minimizing car use

August 5, 2009 By WRN Contributor

The City of Madison wants to do something about tie ups on the roads. Council members voted Tuesday night to establish a team to find more efficent ways to commute with the least impact on the environment.

Alderman Brian Solomon says any number of solutions could come from this, "There might be incentives or things that we could to help encourage more people to bike, walk or take public transit. There are obviously things like a wheel tax, a commuter tax or things like that. I'm not suggesting that we do something like that, but there are a lot of options out there."

Solomon adds this is not an attempt to get people out of their cars, but a way to help educate people about the impact our decisions have on the community.
