While just three months ago it would take me 15 minutes to get to work, it now takes closer to 25. Waymarsh should follow the example of our neighboring city Graysville. Last year, Graysville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work with coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Graysville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and several friends who live in Graysville tell me that their trip to work is quicker than it used to be. With the terrible traffic and high pollution in Waymarsh, we must implement a policy similar to Graysville.
