I think the theory behind paying for airports with fed dollars is two fold: <br /> <br />1.) Local munis usually can't handle the entire costs on their own, especially medium sized markets, <br /> <br />2.) Feds consider that it helps to build a system, so benefits the enire nation. <br /> <br />Oh, and one I forgot: <br />3.) It's another thing your congressman can bring back from the beltway to please constituents. <br /> <br />As for toll roads, BOO!!!! I know what you mean, tho, there has been a push locally in the PNW for them..... but I don't think they'll ever be on all interstates... heck they aren't getting good response here. Tolls are such an east coast thing, though I know of some in CA. <br /> <br />BTW they call this Roadway Pricing Stategies now, and not tolls. Trying to confuse us, i think. <br /> <br />Yes, trains will have to be at capacity. Yes, we probably won't see it anytime soon. <br /> <br />And on ads? I think Freight Roads are trying to get back some of the respect they used to have. Hey, my dream would be to see a combo of their advertisement and our passenger trains. Let them run them again! <br /> <br />(OK OK unrealistic. I can have my fantasies, can't I? At least I admit they are such!) <br /> <br />Always a pleasure, Ed.
