Remember that modern trams only cost $20million per km. So with a $350billion budget, it means you could build 17500 km of new tram lines. There’s so many solutions to car traffic, none of them include widening highways.
Over the next five years, U.S. states will receive $350 billion for highways. States have a chance to try new strategies for addressing congestion, but some are still choosing to widen freeways — an approach many transportation experts say does not work.
