Out of 56,000 who commute to work, 50,000 did so by car, with the overwhelming majority being single occupancy trips.
Over 60% of those 56,000 commute less than 29 minutes (including those who walk, take public transportation, or bike). With around 15,000 out of 56,000 saying that their commute is less than 15 minutes.
It’s infuriating to know that driving has become the default for such short trips, and we still spend millions of dollars to make it easier to settle into this lazy pattern of transportation.
So, before you can expect the city to spend money on non-car traffic, you will have to convince a significant amount of people to give up their car.
But in order to convince people to give up their car, you need a viable alternative to driving.
