Argument 71
Arg 71build new road or encourage ride sharing

The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times.

"Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem. Although just three years ago a state traffic survey showed that the typical driving commuter took 20 minutes to get to work, the commute now takes closer to 40 minutes, according to the survey just completed. Members of the town council already have suggested more road building to address the problem, but as well as being expensive, the new construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods. It would be better to follow the example of the nearby city of Garville. Last year Garville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work, giving them coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Garville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and people from Garville tell me that commuting times have fallen considerably. There is no reason why a policy like Garville's shouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.


C1: Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem.

G2: Last year Garville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work, giving them coupons for free gas.

G3: Pollution levels in Garville have dropped since the policy was implemented,

G4: and people from Garville tell me that commuting times have fallen considerably.

C4: There is no reason why a policy like Garville's shouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh.


A1(G1, C1): The traffic is a problem given the longer commuting time reflected in the survey.

A2(G2, G3, G4): The policy is the reason why pollution levels dropped and the commuting times fell.

A3(C3, C4): The policy transfer will lead to similar success.

A4(C2,C3): The proposed policy is more cost-effective than the alternative policy.
