STEERING AWAY FROM CAR DEPENDENCY
There have been small successes in funding transit, sidewalks, pathways, and connectivity.
In 2022, the Washington State legislature passed a $17 billion transportation package that included $5.2 billion for transit, bike, and pedestrian projects.
It was the first time multimodal investments were larger
than highway capacity expansion funding.
Improving transit can help nondrivers and everybody else,
says Author Anna Zivarts.
In her book, When Driving is Not an Option, she
recounts dozens of anecdotes of people enduring long, frustrating transit trips
or not being able to access it at all.
