Transit Access
Posts in this category are about Transit Access. Improved transit access will occur through the creation of effective competition between many different travel modes, including: walking, biking, bus, light-rail, commuter train, inter-city rail, ferry carpool, and personal cars. The car offers a remarkable level of personal independence and convenience, making people reluctant to try alternatives.
With the creation of a more efficient, effective, and accessible public transit system, a strong alternative will be provided to the single-occupant vehicle. These alternative multi-modal transportation systems (increased use of bikes, ride-sharing, rail, etc.) will help individuals save money, increase health, and reduce stress.
