As the Tourmobile, a D.C. sightseeing service, concluded its rounds last week, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton looked forward at greener alternatives for the District. Norton expressed her hope to the National Park Service that the new National Mall transportation plan will allow for a variety of fluel-efficient options. Norton urged that greener transportation options were more welcoming to park users.
Norton’s proposal would be consistent with a federal policy that encourages alternative means of transportation, as well as reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. In a statement, Norton said, “This is the time to ensure that Mall transportation fits today’s Mall and the Mall we envision for the 21st century.”
