"The Commission has hit the bull's eye with its recommendations", says
Skymeter CEO Kamal Hassan. "Recognizing and recommending sensible policy using
reliable and cost-effective technology addresses the three evils plaguing
surface transportation: under-funding, CO(2) emissions, and traffic jams."
Hassan says that by opting for a sensibly-designed GPS-driven user fee system
America's total CO(2) emissions will be reduced by 5% or 350 million metric
tonnes, the same reduction as if one out of every four cars on the road were
replaced by electric cars. It will also make the average commute around 10%
faster. "Those are pretty good side effects for a system that returns the
nation's road financing system to health" says Hassan.
