				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation (MAST), the statewide coalition of which CLF is a steering committee member, has submitted a proposal to increase  commuter transit options, reduce household expenditures on gasoline and  diesel, increase employment opportunities and productivity and reduce  government expenditures by <a href="http://www.clf.org/blog/clean-energy-climate-change/the-wheels-on-the-bus-go-zoom-zoom-zoom/" target="_blank">expanding the routes of the highly-successful  ZOOM Turnpike Express bus services </a>along the Maine Turnpike corridor.  The program would also establish a fund for the improved maintenance of  Maine’s roadways.</p>
<p>“Financially, this bill just makes a lot of sense for a  fiscally-strapped state like Maine,” said CLF Maine Staff Attorney Jane West. “Instead of spending $56 million on a tollbooth or $150 million  to widen a couple of miles of highway, this bill will serve thousands  of commuters, reduce traffic congestion and provide a much-needed  alternative to paying three dollars and more per gallon at the pump, for  a fraction of the cost of any other solution.” <a href="http://www.clf.org/newsroom/maine-alliance-for-sustainable-transportation-mast-submits-bill-request-to-125th-legislature/" target="_blank">More &gt;</a></p>
