Have a Big Idea?

A "TRANSIT PASS (instead of New-Car Cash) FOR CLUNKERS" program that provides paid-for public transportation to individuals who retire their low-mileage vehicles for dismantling would help lower U.S. carbon emissions from transportation far more than the ballyhooed Cash for Clunkers program did, while sending additional funds to America's public transportation sector for local jobs, and helping lower- and fixed-income Americans who trade in their 'clunkers' for a multi-year transit pass.
