ANN Special Feature: Robert Poole, The Reason Foundation - 11.09.07
ANN's Paul Plack talks with Bob Poole, Director of Transportation Studies for the Reason Foundation, a libertarian policy research organization. The Reason Foundation has been unique in the aviation user fee debate by arguing that under the right structure, user fees could bring both lower costs and more control to general aviation.
Bob Poole's role as an advisor to the Bush administration has often been used to paint him as an architect of what eventually became the FAA's proposal for its own reauthorization and funding scheme. In fact, Bob's position has been that NextGen is too important to be left under the FAA at all, and needs to be administered by the system's users, governed by a board which would allot the airline industry only minority representation.
Today, Bob talks with Paul about recent user fee reductions by NavCanada, the user-funded system cited by Reason as an ideal model for the US. Also discussed are the dramatic growth in business aviation in Europe despite user fees there, and the Department of Transportation's push for congestion pricing to relieve chronic airline delays in the New York corridor.
