Speaking Freely Highway Research By DON OAKLEY
The Highway Users Federation urged pooling up to 350 million of the Highway Trust Fund with other federal transport funds to foster joint urban research including rail. D. Grant Mickle testified before the House Roads Subcommittee on a 20 year plan to balance national transport, with safety, minority development, and citizen input. The plan faces skepticism over the size of the fund and ongoing highway priorities. A separate note praises Isla Vista police bicycles as effective crime prevention, aiding pursuits and community relations with students near UC Santa Barbara.
