The following is a lesson in the history of Rideshare and Carpool. It is mostly a lesson in government funding of Rideshare and Carpool matching services.

Conflicts of Interest in our Government Transportation Authorities

The following is a plea to our State of California to take action to end the illegal ongoing conflict of interest that puts 20% - 30% more vehicle exhaust into the atmosphere.

The State of California grants the Regional Transportaion Authorities oversight of Carpool matching services. The actuall pairing of drivers and riders. That program is underfunded and non-existent in some transit authorities.

California is suing the automakers for their contribution to global warming.

So, I have to ask, will the State of California sue me for driving a car?

Should I sue the State for damages from the ongoing illegal conflict of interest?

Rideshare sites such as http://ridebay.com represent a market based approach to rideshare that results in a zero-emissions technology for the passenger. I call on the ARB to use it’s authority under Assembly Bill 32 to promote early actions to support the roll of rideshare in reducing our Green House Gas emissions.

The CEO of the Los Angeles MTA has stated that at 1.3 riders per car there would be no traffic congestion on our freeways.

Hello MTA, why aren't we funding that?
