MTC continues to make
ludicrous claims that their proposed HOT lanes
network will result in decreased GHG emissions,
despite the new lanes’ encouragement of a significant
increase in driving in the Bay Area. Given MTC’s
intention to go forward with this massively
counterproductive project, it is heartening that the
Sightline Institute has produced an important study
on the expected long-term increase in GHG emissions
that will result from highway widening. Finally,
someone in transportation is making sense! See
