The rate of air pollution and the way
we commute, primarily correspond with one another. The more gas emissions
humanity emits the more toxic our air quality will become over time. An
effective alternative to an over-excess of gas emissions is to transport people
by the “bulk” rather than individually. Transportation has emerged as a
significant issue in Texas’ state policy landscape.
Austin’s metro system is making
progress to implement and promote this way of commuting throughout the
community. Austin’s metro system is one of the most efficient ways of commuting
to work and school. Unfortunately, much of Austin does not have a metro station
around the corner. In a Transportation poll, a vast majority of Texans
supported investing more public tax in public transportation. The data shows that Texans agree that
investing more in public transportation is worth it because they believe it
will reduce congestion. As time advances, roads and ways of transportation
will inevitably require innovation to keep up with an ever-increasing
population. Simultaneously this challenge has been deepened by Texans’
dependence on the personal car and our government's insufficiency to keep pace
with the growing population. Also, not to mention the associated rise in the
number of semi-trailer trucks driving on them.
Once public transportation is accessible
throughout the entire city people will begin using public transportation
instead of their own vehicles. Consequently, the number of cars on the street
will reduce significantly. To recap, the main limitation comes from access to
these routes and stations. Means of travel are slowly revolutionizing. It is
the hands of the drivers to make efficient public transportation a reality.
