"The End of the Road is a controversial call to reconsider our American infrastructure, right now before our "stimulus package" is lost on projects with little long term value. As a society, we have not yet noticed the true direction and dire consequences we are forced into by our choices in infrastructure past, present and future. The implications affect almost every area of our lives, from our physical health to that of our economy to our social, ethical and political relations with neighbors whether they are local or across the globe. Whether our goods and services come to us from near or far away."

This book is 10 years old and it's heartbreaking to think of the opportunities lost hopefully described in the book as possibilities for a greener transportation system. One of the authors has the best take on what's wrong with the car industry and our transportation infrastructure I've ever seen. Brilliant. So much background on how we got to this sad place too.

Where is the End of the Road?

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2010

This book addresses not only the issues of cars, but it argues that roads themselves must be redesigned to accommodate new types of transportation, perhaps for the small electric vehicle known as an EV. These cars would cost as little as $10,000 and could carry as many as four passengers. Sounds good, but the proverbial fly in the ointment is that these small, economic, affordable cars would be completely outgunned and outmatched by the huge cars and trucks on our roadways today. What parent would feel comfortable handing the keys of a tiny Smart Car over to their teenager when the highways are glutted with SUVs?

Part of the solution according to the authors, Joseph McKinney and Dr. Amy Isler Gibson, is that roads must be redesigned to accommodate the EV or a "Village Vehicle." The VVs would travel around redesigned roads called Greenways. We could decommission a percentage of urban roads and convert them to Greenways for the exclusive use of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). A ZEV could be an EV, a scooter, pedestrian, runner, bicycle, wheelchair, Segway, skateboard or roller skate, as long is it didn't burn anything or have an exhaust system.

Village Vehicles would be light and inexpensive, not requiring four airbags, an ABS braking system, steel cages for passenger protection and thousands of dollars and hundreds of pounds of safety equipment and technology products. Let's face it, it's darned expensive to drive your living room down the road. It makes sense to have a VV since about 80 percent of our driving is done from home to work, to school, to the grocery store; all village driving.

The vision with this book isn't so much about cars as it is about the sustainability and the quality of the lives we live. In the authors' view, sustainability equals accountability. We are all challenged to meet rising energy and transportation costs for the needs of our village/community. Joseph McKinney and Dr. Amy Isler Gibson have a dream that goes beyond reducing carbon footprints to imagining lives and communities no longer dependent upon current, deadly modes of transportation. This is a book written with passion and knowledge. It is a truly fascinating and engaging glimpse of what might be.
