Very strongly agree

No, but new highway expansions must include dedicated lanes for electric buses and carpools

This reflects the consensus Democratic position of 'multi-modal' infrastructure, where road projects are integrated with transit-first solutions like HOV and bus lanes to promote efficiency and lower emissions.

Agree

No

Mainstream Democratic policy, as seen in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, continues to fund road and highway projects while simultaneously increasing investment in transit, rather than choosing one exclusively.

Agree

Yes, we must radically rethink urban planning to prioritize walkable cities and high-speed rail

The party strongly supports walkable cities and high-speed rail, but the 'Yes' to a total ban on highway construction is more radical than the party's current legislative agenda.

Agree

No, a growing population requires expanded roads to prevent crippling congestion that damages the economy

Democrats acknowledge the need for functional infrastructure to support the economy, though they increasingly prioritize maintenance and efficiency over building new highway lanes to solve congestion.

Slightly agree

Yes, "induced demand" proves that adding lanes only creates more traffic and increases emissions

While progressive elements of the party recognize induced demand and its impact on emissions, the party leadership has not adopted a policy of banning lane expansions based on this principle.

Disagree

Yes

The Democratic Party platform generally supports increasing public transit funding but does not advocate for an outright ban on highway construction, favoring a 'fix-it-first' approach and multi-modal investments instead.

Very strongly disagree

No, the "war on cars" is an elitist agenda that punishes working-class commuters who must drive

The 'war on cars' framing and 'elitist agenda' rhetoric are hallmarks of Republican and conservative opposition to Democratic environmental and transit policies, which the party actively rejects.
