COMMENTS: Small Planes and Young Drivers
CBS and ABC aired transportation stories. ABC's Lisa Stark was in San Luis Obispo to illustrate how small town airports will suffer disproportionately when domestic airlines implement their 9% service cutback this fall. The California college town is now served by four commuter carriers; American Eagle and United Express both plan to leave. CBS' Cynthia Bowers covered the "heartbreaking number" of 5,000 teenage deaths in traffic accidents each year. In response, New Jersey has raised the minimum driving age to 17; Illinois has introduced graduated licenses, which require supervision and single passengers for rookie drivers.
