Promoting Transportation Choices
Great cities have great transit. By promoting public transit and connecting pedestrians and cyclists to transportation options, we will decrease oil consumption, C02 emissions, and create a better-connected, more pedestrian-oriented city. Growth and vitality depend on efficient and convenient transportation available for residents and visitors alike.
