Transportation

"The Reason Foundation in Los Angeles is the nation's foremost expert in free-market transportation alternatives such as toll roads and express highway lanes for commuter buses."
The Wall Street Journal

"For 17 years, Mr. Poole has been the chief theorist for private solutions to gridlock. His ideas are now embraced by officials from Sacramento to Washington."
The New York Times

"Truck-only toll lanes are the brainchild of Robert Poole, an engineer who oversees transportation studies at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Los Angeles."
