RAND report suggests scrapping gas tax in favor of per-mile levy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Share
Congress should get rid of fuel taxes and move toward a system that charges road users for the miles they travel, according to a leading national research organization.

Cars are certainly changing, and the rate of that change will only increase over the next decade. More Intelligent transportation systems panel getting to work Occupational Health and Safety Share

If you thought free markets would protect you from cars that can accelerate out of control and slam you into a ditch, think again. Look no further than the latest news on Toyota's recalls. In recent weeks, the Japanese carmaker has recalled 8.1 million vehicles, and it added 437,000 Prius and other hybrid models whose brakes don't work all that well (when traveling on a wet or potholed road, they can go about 50 feet without working).
