Just got off the blower with Rae Tyson, stalwart spokesman for the Department of Transportation&#8217;s Cash for Clunkers (a.k.a. C.A.R.S.) program. Although Tyson doesn&#8217;t have the exact stats, he revealed that the agency has rejected &#8220;significantly more&#8221; than 25 percent of dealer submissions for government reimbursement. &#8220;The bottleneck is regrettable,&#8221; Rae said. &#8220;But the number [...]]]></description>

Special interest groups devoted to undermining the rights of motorists have received millions in grants from the UK government. These organizations promote raising taxes on drivers, increasing the number of speed cameras and boosting subsidies for inefficient modes of transportation. A report issued earlier this month by The Taxpayers&#8217; Alliance (TPA) used freedom of information [...]]]></description>

It takes £2,239,300,000 (US $3,749,250,000) in subsidies to operate mass transit programs in the UK&#8217;s capital city, according to the Transport for London Annual Report and Statement of Accounts released this week. These subsidies come from a number of taxes imposed on motorists who in many cases do not use public transportation. London&#8217;s most burdensome [...]]]></description>

Taxpayers will foot the bill for efforts to promote the tolling of roads throughout Texas after Governor Rick Perry (R) vetoed legislation that would have reined in public relations efforts at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Only one member of the entire legislature voted against the proposed bill that would have amended existing law [...]]]></description>
