Eh, my mom did the park and ride thing and took the train to work in Orlando for a few years before she retired. It’s not enough, but a few cities are taking some steps in the right direction.
We added 30,511 new freeway lane-miles of road in the largest 100 urbanized areas between 1993 and 2017, an increase of 42 percent. That rate of freeway expansion significantly outstripped the 32 percent growth in population in those regions over the same time period. Yet this strategy has utterly failed to “solve” the problem at hand—delay is up in those urbanized areas by a staggering 144 percent.
In TX not only have they added highway, but many new highways are Toll roads. Somehow the city councils get duped with a presentation that building another lane on the highway won’t help, but building two in the name of a private company will.
They don’t even take care of the toll roads as well as the public roads either.
No, it’s gotten worse over the past 30 years.
They’ve removed a lot of the in city highways atleast in the east coast
Depends on where you are. It’s gotten much worse in Florida.
Hasn’t everything though?
Considering Florida is literally a sinking state physically and politically, I wouldn’t expect much
Disc golf has gotten better there. And Wawa has opened some stores. That is about it.

Probably just need that one last name added and it’ll finally pan out.
