SVP combats congestion, harassment, and high taxes

The SVP says, congestion, harassment, and higher taxes in road transport to the battle. You want to resist, that money roads from the national and agglomeration traffic Fund (NAF) is diverted on a large scale for Public transport projects.

The economic success and prosperity of Switzerland was mainly attributable to the high mobility and the once-excellent infrastructure, said representatives of the party on Friday. They presented a new position paper of the SVP to the transport policy.

traffic jams and standing passengers

This prosperity, however, is in acute danger due to a short-sighted left-green politics, the wool open borders and mass immigration. At the same time, this policy was not prepared to enter the fast-growing population, the necessary transport infrastructure.

Among the consequences of all the suffering would have to: On the streets, the traffic, traffic jams and the trains, the passengers would be. Also, the air traffic infrastructure push their limits.

Although all the transport routes are important. In Switzerland, around three-quarters of the total traffic would be handled across the street. And according to the forecasts of the Federal government, it would be 2040 is still 70 percent. But invested has been in the last few decades, especially in the car. As a result, the traffic jam would have doubled the hours on the road between 2009 and 2017 to almost 26'000 and the trend continue to increase.

the party's President Albert Rösti criticised the fact that the Car is moving instead of the "free ride" in return for all the taxes, fees and charges which you paid, increasing congestion and harassment are exposed to and that you would be ripped off with fuel taxes, Vignette, the impending CO2 tax, and others.

money

With the railway Fund Fabi and NAF for the roads the Federal government has the means to eliminate the most important bottlenecks immediately. In particular, the money for the road had to be actually used, and in the words of the SVP in a large scale for projects of Public transport in the agglomerations, seep.

the Ultimate objective must be in accordance with the SVP to eliminate with the existing resources, the most important transport bottlenecks immediately as well as improvements to be made where demand and pollution at the largest.

As a big Problem, the SVP identifies the longer the more the maintenance, so the maintenance of the once-built infrastructure. In the case of all new projects and extensions of the transport infrastructure must also be secured for the financing of future maintenance, to leave in order not to future generations a little more affordable costs.
