Traffic costs the people of California $77 billion per year:
Most of these costs can be rcovered as value by passing the Solar Mobility Act. The Solar Mobility Act restores liberty to innovate transportation infrastructure based on:
In 1982 liberty to innovate communications infrastructure was restore when courts forced an end to the unconstitutional Federal communications monopoly. Millions of jobs resulted as commercial innovator offered innovations and people sorted those choices in free markets.
Liberty is society's tolerance of disruptive minorities offering choices. The Solar Mobility Act restores liberty to offer solar-powered mobility choices to unconstitutional government mandated oil/coal fired infrastructure.

The problem with pollution and traffic congestion is we are moving two tons to move a person. JPods remove the Parasitic Mass and repetitive applications of power required from Start-Stop traffic. To illustrate how little energy is required, we allowed people to push a JPods mobilie network setup in front of Boston City Hall as part of Boston Green Fest. The small girl is pushing her mother. Judeth (75 years old) pushes a JPods vehicle with 3 people.
90 Second Summary of JPods
The deployment of self-driving cars on city streets underscores there is no technical barrier to deploying self-driving pods on grade separated rails. The grade separate rails preempts safety defects of highways and energy wasted in start-stop traffic. The area over the top to the rails allows solar collectors to gather 40,000 vehicle-miles of power per mile of rail per day.

Capacity is radically greater than highways, buses, and trains. People look at a train full of people and think they can carry a lot of people. They fail to look at long the tracks are empty between trains. It is not how many people fit in a vehicle, but how many can fit through the network that determines capacity.

In 1974 the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Study PB-244854 warned that DOT "institutional failures" would block expansion of PRT beyond Morgantown. DOT have proven this warning to be true.
Compare two types of mobility networks and how they are regulated:
Given a choice, which standard would you choose?
Self-regulation is not safey repeatable. Sovereign immunity should be removed so people can sue decision makers and engineers for defects in all mobilty networks (public and private).
The Rules for Rulers explain why government officials do nothing about safety, traffic congestion, Climate Change, oil-wars, etc.... Money spent on the citizens is wasted:
If a majority will demand passing the Solar Mobility Act, cleaner, faster, safer, and more affordable mobility networks will quickly get built.
American has nearly a century of rotary telephones for the same reason we have the gas mileage and safety record of the Model-T. Unconstitutional Federal and state monopolies will sacrifice the general welfare to gain and retain power. Liberty is the source of the "general welfare". To protect liberty from government monopolies the Preamble, "post Roads" and "ports" restrictions forbid Federal taxing for "internal improvements" beyond defending free speech.
In 1982 the courts forced an end to the unconstitutional Federal communications monopoly. Millions of jobs, vast innovations, and better services at lower costs resulted.
The success in communications can be repeated in transportation by passing the Solar Mobility Act.
