I had to look twice to be sure this wasn't an auto use promotion board. BTW, London has just done a study showing that their congestion pricing of the CBD has reduced auto accidents by 40%. Of course from a Darwin/Malthus perspective that is a bad thing. Total Vehicle Miles Traveled has been on the decline for most of a decade even while population hasn't. Bicycle use has skyrocketed, and for those of you who intend to drive until the keys are "pried from my dead hand" remember every one else who shifts to non auto use is freeing up space for you on the road.
Finally, when I next visit Portland, the Milw LR will get me to an area I want to explore.
