Supports improving public transportation by diverting Expressway Authority funds from highway expansion to transit, encouraging tax-free employer transit benefits, and using incentives for green/low-emission transportation technologies.

I will launch a campaign to encourage employers to provide tax-free transportation benefits to workers, such as bus, train, light rail, van pool, etc.. We can also make our communities cleaner and healthier by using public money as incentives for green transportation technologies...”
