The correspondent questions tax allocations for highway work and education and suggests flexible access to healthcare, school bus usage, and non-peak travel options. The note defends retirees and challenges age-based travel discrimination.
The writer asks how many seniors care for grandchildren and shuttle them to school while parents work. They also wonder how many seniors volunteer in road-haul duties or rescue squads, noting they themselves work as a volunteer rescuer available to respond at all hours.
