Green Transportation Key To Economic Vitality
In an address last week to a business forum in Portland, Oregon Govenor Ted Kulongoski declared the current transportation system as unsustainable. "The fact is, addressing ... transportation and climate change are critical to our success in the global marketplace and maintaining our quality of life," he said.
Gov. Kulongoski supports the use of tax credits that encourage telecommuting, bike commuting and use of public transportation; he plans to pursue this issue with the Oregon legislature in 2009.
