Rideshare sites such as http://ridesharex.com represent a market based approach to rideshare that results in a zero-emissions technology for the passenger. I call on this committee to use it’s authority under Assembly Bill 32 to restart the national conversation on the roll of rideshare in reducing our Green House Gas emissions.

The United States Government spends Billions of dollars every year studying problems.

We have rising obesity, traffic congestion, and global warming.

Our government only has plans to manipulated their tax base. Obesity? Tax foods. Traffic Congestion - create Hot Lanes (new taxes). Global Warming....here comes the carbon tax.

But in some countries, they realize that the right solution involves simplicity.....and no tax.

Italy has found a way to combat all 3 problems without raising any taxes.
