United States road transportation today is beset with 4 Dualmode Transportation Challenges major challenges
Challenge Traffic Congestion Over 25 Years 64% Population 214% Vehicle Miles Traveled 1 6% Road Capacity Texas
Both traffic delays and wasted fuel cost the nation $78.2 billion in 2005
3 Challenge Russia Angola Nigeria Algeria Iraq SaudiArabia Canada United States Venezuela Mexico Nonattainment for Ozone Only Near Nonattainment for Ozone Only VirginIslands(U.S.) Air Pollution US imports more than 60% of the oil 2/3 of that goes into, cars, trucks, and buses 2 Challenge Energy Security
3,675 deaths in 2003 4 In 2000, 1450 deaths/alcohol involved Challenge S A F E T y Texas has the second highest US traffic fatalities 38% of all fatalities involving high blood alcohol level Dept. of Public Safety issued half million speeding violations
