The Modern Transit Society, Inc. (MTS) was founded in 1971 and is a non-profit, advocacy organization for transit in Santa Clara County, California. Membership is free. At one time, it had over 800 members in Santa Clara and Sacramento counties, but membership has reduced as goals were accomplished... MTS devised the concept of cashout which is now starting to be implemented. Cashout is equalizing the parking subsidy at employment, so that bicyclists, transit patrons and walkers get the same benefit as solo-drivers. A company pays employees to not drive. This action alone will decrease car commuting by 25% (the average of ten studies on this topic). Cashout has already been implemented at some companies. We are working to include cashout into the Countywide Deficiency Plan of Santa Clara County... implementing an efficient alignment of the Vasona light rail line into downtown San Jose. We support the Fast Track described in our newsletter.
