That&#x27;s only true if our goal is to minimize consumption, which I&#x27;m not sure is advisable for the majority of roads, especially once we switch to electrical vehicles. A subsidized transportation network is pretty effective at encouraging commerce.<p>That being said, I do think there are <i>localized</i> areas where we want to decrease usage. So the future probably involves a combination of tax-free electrical vehicles and substantially more toll roads&#x2F;congestion-charged zones.
