To Comment to the Ventura County Transportation Committee:

The fastest way to make Public Transportation as convenient as the private car is for the public to demand that all elected officials, members of the Ventura County Transportation Commission, all City Managers and staff leave their cars at home at least one day a week and ride the bus.
Convenient public transportation and a safe bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure should be the top priority for creating a green, sustainable Ventura County.
If all our public servants were required to transport themselves mainly by bus or bicycle for at least three months, the convenience of the private car would no longer be the top priority. Public transportation is the key to reducing air pollution, traffic congestion and solving parking problems --not more freeway lanes and parking lots!
