What is autosprawl welfare?

The private-auto-system of transport exists only by virtue of heavy subsidy. This takes many forms: direct taxpayer-financed giveaways, deferred costs, externalized costs, and indirect subsidy. This blog will give examples.

Sierra Club - America's autos on welfare

Some of these subsidies are paid by the poor thru pollution related illnesses, thru walking and biking crash risks, thru transit made infrequent by low ridership and slowed by congestion and thru higher taxes. Some of these subsidies, or externalities as the economists call them, are suffered by motorists who are delayed by the very congestion they cause, and thru crashes and ill health, and higher taxes; but these costs are not levied in a way to fund convenient alternatives or to encourage or incentivize them to avoid driving. Most motorists haven't a clue to the level of subsidies to driving.

Subsidy Tracker

A growing number of state governments are disclosing which companies they are giving tax breaks and other subsidies in the name of job creation and economic development. Yet much of that information is being disseminated through hard-to-find reports and web pages. SUBSIDY TRACKER brings together the information from those far-flung sources--along with unpublished data obtained through open records requests--to create the first national search engine for state economic development subsidies. We have also begun to add data from city and county subsidy programs. Click here for the Good Jobs First subsidy tracker
