Caltrans official says she was demoted for objecting to highway expansion

Objecting to highways should be a prerequisite for getting a transit planning job.
- If q highway is overloaded, then the first thing to come to mind should be "do we need a rail line here?". Between those two cities, I think the answer is obvious. One more lane doesn't work. Reliable and fast rail does.
  
  Just FYI, there are 2 rail lines between Davis and Sacramento running parallel to the highway.
  
  It's a 20 minute train ride, but they want to expand the highway to 4 lanes each direction.
  
  It would be so much better to add more stops along the rail and more frequent trains.
