Clean Air

I want our citizens and people who visit our wonderful state to be able to breathe clean air. I will work towards this by:
Promoting incentives allowing more people to telecommute. This would include encouraging video and audio conferencing rather than in-person meetings.
Encouraging flexible scheduling that lets people commute at different times of the day to reduce traffic congestion and reduce idling our cars during rush hours.
Encouraging more clean vehicles by providing more incentives to find and use alternative sources of vehicle fuels such as electric, natural gas, solar, etc.
Create incentives for businesses to provide passes or discounts to encourage employees to use public transportation
National/States Parks and Recreation

We have many wonderful parks in Utah and we want to preserve them so everyone can enjoy them for generation to come. To do this, I will:
Work with the Federal Parks administration to provide buses, trams, and other modes of transportation as an alternative to using cars for everything.
Zion's National Park already mandates buses during peak seasons.
In Bryce Canyon bus use is optional, but being mandatory could be an option.
I will also promote our state parks
