110 Toll Road - 40% Are Rich

The March 23 "Daily Breeze" confirms an earlier declaration that the 110 Toll Road is for the rich. The paper indicated that 40% of the Toll drivers were single drivers. This means that 40% of the drivers do not qualify for the high occupancy discount. This means that 40% of the users can afford to pay sometimes $15 dollars one way to save time into Los Angeles. When you consider that not everyone has a car, not everyone has a computer (or smart phone), and not everyone can afford the extra money to use the Toll road, the demographics lead to a strongly rich population of Toll users. What the paper failed to ask is whether the Toll road is being used more than before. And where is this money going when our councilman want to propose a bond to fix our roads. And how does a Toll road help to bring all Los Angelenos together when not everyone has access to the road. If Los Angeles cared about the poor they would speak up.
