The solution is simple. One should not be drivng when public transit is available. Businesses, employers, and landlords should not be subsidizing the automobile with free parking while doing nothing for the transit user. UNLV is the worse offender, plans for 5 parking garages in the works and the parking fees only set to cover policing, maintenance, signs, and cleaning of the parking areas with the cost of the structure and land a pure subsidy. Meanwhile they have shuttles for those who drive but they don't go to the CAT bus stops -one has to go to where one would park a car and then walk to the bus stop. Driving is wrong most of the time when transit is available. Spend any money allocated for increased lanes and roads to extend the monorail to downtown and the airport with a stop at Thomas and Mack. Implement the MAX program for all major routes and increase the number of buses in use to meet new demand. Parking meters should also be in use on the first day of the week, Sunday, as well.

The unions are a right that workers have to protect themselves from corporate greed. With corporations paying CEO's hundreds of times more than their workers, using corporation funds for political purposes, thereby also screwing the stockholders out of dividend money. it is only fair to have unions to let those who make all these profits possible, the regular workers get their fair share.
