STEERING AWAY FROM CAR DEPENDENCY
This overlay information can help planners focus dollars on filling in the gaps or rerouting transit to better serve everyone in the community, including the 31 percent who don't drive, according to WisDOT's analysis.
Anna Zivarts, author of When Driving is Not an Option,
says a simple way to value the experience of nondrivers is to put yourself in
someone else's shoes, like a person trying to cross an eight-lane arterial,
while negotiating mud puddles and overgrown bushes along the edge of a road
with no sidewalks.
Or, try pledging to ditch your car and rely only on
public transit for a few days.
