Coping with peak-hour traffic congestion. 'Timely, factual, decision and policy focused... as always, Anthony Downs guides us to a future with more liveable communities and healthier environments.'--Marcy Kaptur, U.S. House of Representatives.
Booknews
Downs, who has written widely on the state of urban America, turns his eye on rush hour. He reviews 27 solutions that have been proposed, showing how none will make much difference. He concludes that road tolls during peak hours, regional control, and a combination of approaches, might help, but notes that only a crisis will convince commuters to give up the free ride they now enjoy at society's expense. Not a book to read if you are already depressed. Paper edition (unseen), $10.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
