Introduced
by
To require the Department of Transportation to establish two pilot alternative transportation programs, one in the Detroit area and one in the Grand Rapids areas, which would each provide a financial incentive for up to 20 households to give up the use of one vehicle for a specific period of time. Each household would have to agree to give up the use of its extra car, and also keep a daily diary of its travel behavior. In return, they would be paid $25 for the first two weeks, and $75 for the next 10 weeks.
