ASCE Met Section member Sam (Gridlock Sam) Schwartz has proposed "freedom fees" as a way to support world class transportation systems through the United States. Freedom fees are funding methods that could be used to maintain and upgrade our transportation infrastructure. Such methods include more expansive road tolling, an increase in the gas tax, congestion pricing and so forth. For more information and to support freedom fees, visit www.freedomfees.org.

ASCE has set up an online form to allow its members interested in volunteering to help with the relief efforts in Japan to submit their contact information.
