    it was cheaper (both out of pocket and any tax subsidies) and would provide support for a greater variety of schedules.

    Mass transit in my opinion is too expensive and will not meet the needs for the volume of traffic I see in Littleton. I find it not cost-effective enough to compete with owning and operating a vehicle. It takes in many cases more than 30 minutes to make it to a reasonable destination than it would be to drive myself. Therefore, it seems reasonable to: increase the capacity of the road systems within Littleton. The key intersections are Santa Fe and Bowles/Littleton and Mineral and Santa Fe. Broadway is also often backed up from Arapahoe to C-470 during rush hour. During rush hour traffic is back up more than is safe or reasonable. Mass transit should also do whatever possible to cut costs and increase flexibility to make it compete with single drivers. Well over 50% of my movement is not repetitive. So mass transit would need to provide a solution so that it competes with driving myself.

    Plan for the volume of traffic forecasted and build roads to accommodate the forecast.
