Eyman Initiative For 2008

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

You have to give him props for being consistent. Tim Eyman (and friends) are sponsoring a new initiative in 2008.

From Tim Eyman’s Web site (Voters Want More Choices):

“Not surprisingly, the focus of ReduceCongestion.org is reducing traffic congestion. The measure:

* Opens carpool lanes to everyone during non-peak hours (midday and evenings on weekdays and all day and all night on weekends — peak hours defined as Mon-Fri 6-9 am, 3-6 pm) — which reduces traffic congestion and increases traffic flow;

* Requires cities and counties to synchronize traffic lights on heavily-traveled arterials — which reduces traffic congestion and increases traffic flow; and

* Increases funding for emergency roadside assistance (to clear out accidents faster) — which reduces traffic congestion and increases traffic flow.”
