The Solution to High Gas Prices

H.R. 6495: Transportation and Housing Options for Gas Price Relief Act of 2008

-- expand public transportation;

-- encourage pay-as-you-drive auto insurance policies that reward low-mileage drivers with lower insurance premiums;

-- reduce commuting costs by providing incentives to employers and employees to take transit, bicycle, carpool, walk, or telecommute to work;

-- help local governments create walkable, bikeable communities;

-- help Americans make smart transportation and housing choices by educating them about their options;

-- create location efficient mortgages that would make owning a home near transit more affordable.
