What, if anything, should the county be doing to improve traffic flow?
McHenry County municipal areas are experiencing explosive growth. Many people are commuting outside the county. The traffic could be lessened appreciably if we had a good public transportation system. It has been proven by the Environmental Law and Policy Center that a more effective approach to alleviating traffic congestion is to improve local roads and public transportation. The McHenry Taxpayers are presently paying for this transportation, by tax. We are not getting our fair share of taxes returned, and are subsidizing the RTA for their operations in other counties. PACE is currently suing the RTA to recover our fair share of revenues. Bus routes that connect to the train could significantly decrease drive times and pollution. But this would happen only if operated on a usable scheduled service, which at this point does not occur. McHenry County needs to be proactive in implementing a public transportation system all citizens of McHenry County can rely on. The County can also help
