“People have failed to appreciate the high cost of the automobile … some people think I’m declaring war on the automobile. But I’m not. It’s time to end socialism for the cars … the cost of free parking is exorbitantly expensive,” @repblumenauer tells @MobilityPodcast #TRBAM

“The automobile is the second-most expensive budget item for Americans … and congestion only makes things worse,” says @repblumenauer in a live @MobilityPodcast interview at #TRBAM. He notes that EV proliferation means we will need to shift to a road use charge.

“One of my proudest moments was when we opened the bike lane on Pennsylvania Ave. I thought this street was large enough to land a 747. Could we build a bike lane here?” Thrilled @repblumenauer’s with @MobilityPodcast for a live interview at our reception with @replica. #TRBAM

This study is yet another reminder of why designing safer streets for children – rather than faster roads for cars – is essential for our personal and societal well-being. Make happy childhoods abundant. When you build better cities for children and families, you build better cities for everyone. Learn more: Anna Siprikova, a global expert in making streets safer for kids, joined us on our latest @MobilityPodcast episode to discuss this exact topic. Anna leads the incredible #StreetsforKids program at @GlobalStreets, which is working with over 30 cities around the world on empowering communities to build child-friendly neighborhoods that improve outcomes for everyone. Their Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope is genius. They're helping to inspire change by changing adults' perspectives: once you see cities through the eyes of children, you realize how hostile our vehicle designs and streetscapes are to children and thriving childhoods.
