• Debra Saunders: Sacramento Idles As Carpool Lanes Fail

WHAT is the purpose of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes? Is it to make people who aren't in carpool lanes feel resentful? Or, as UC Berkeley civil and environmental engineering Professor Michael Cassidy believes, is the goal to reduce the number of People Hours Traveled? Cassidy believes HOV lanes work, but used to work better. Cassidy and doctoral student Kitae Jang conducted a study of Bay Area freeway traffic before and after July1, when the Legislature let lapse a 2005 program that allotted yellow stickers granting access to HOV lanes for low or solo occupancy to 85,000 hybrid vehicles.

• Smugmobiles Get Noisier ; Lame-Duck Congress Drops a Bill to Add Alert Sound to Hybrids

So long as lawmakers insist on enacting new regulations to address the problems caused by old regulations, government growth will never end. This is the case with the innocuously named Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010, which was placed on President Obama's desk before New Year's. The goal of this bill - which passed the Senate unanimously and had only 30 dissenting votes in the House - is to make hybrid and electric automobiles noisier. Because they operate either full-time or part-time on electric motors, these allegedly "green" transportation appliances are eerily silent. So silent, in fact, that one can almost hear a distinct cash register ring at start up from all of the government incentives lavished upon them. President Obama's "stimulus" bill handed hybrid manufacturers ...

... According to a 2009 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, hybrid and electricc vehicles were "two times more likely to be involved in a pe...

The Supervisor also authored an amendment to the MTA's long-range transportation plan that will give the Crenshaw/LAX Corridor and Gold Line Foothill Extension first priority to new federal funding the agency will pursue.
