President Trump is doing such a poor job of funding infrastructure in urban areas that 10 major cities have banded together to jointly demand immediate action.
Decision-makers worry about inconveniencing motorists, but we should instead focus on making it safer to transport children without driving, and creating streets where kids can safely spend time.
The group wants a unified regional transit system; more bike and bus lanes, and car-free streets; and downtown congestion pricing to fund sustainable transportation.
E-bikes are useful for people who need to travel long distances and those with mobility challenges, and they can help broaden the appeal of cycling. How can we help to encourage use?
Making transit, walking, and biking, safer and more convenient would help residents keep more money in their pockets for savings or to stimulate the local economy.
