NYC Car Facts

"NYC Car Ownership Declines"
Source: Transporation Alternatives Magazine, Spring 2004
Excerpt: [New York] City car ownership peaked at 2.04 million in 2000, but fell to 1.94 million last year in 2003, despite population growth. Experts blame the economy, sky-high insurance prices, spiraling gas costs and the increasing nightmare of finding parking spots. Basic car insurance in New York City can cost as much as $1,600 a year, and much more for younger motorists.

Roads for the rich.

Are you rich like me?

Are you sick of having to share the roads with the working class and the middle class?

(As I like to call them, "the unwashed masses.")

Then, please, support Mayor Bloomberg's congestion tax and his request for an additional 900 red light cameras.
