Most communities, including DC, don’t prioritize transportation in this manner.
Not having an equivalent policy in DC always worries me when City Council legislates various aspects of transportation policy in bits and pieces, from proposing free parking for funerals, angle parking to accommodate churches on Sundays, tax incentives for gas stations, streetcars, tolls on the 14th Street bridge, etc., there’s no overall plan, no overall vision, but worse, there’s no recognition of the need for an overall plan and vision.
