Eliminate Cars

Transportation problems are not
the effect of the shortage of
parking spaces, they are the cause.
The proper solution is not to build
more and more parking spaces in an
ever increasing servitude to our
faithful servitor. The proper
solution is to develop an
environment in which the
automobile can play no useful
purpose. If a mass transit system
were established, in conjunction
with the City of Charlottesville,
that effectively meets the needs of
faculty, staff, and students the
automobiles would not appear at
the University. What ever happened
to the nickel ride and the 1 ry's
Spring Tramway?
