High Expectations
Vibrant, healthy communities What role does
transportation play? Can we work together?
Beyond sustainability

My Challenge to Us All
Apply Ecological Thinking Connect the dots Play well together Integrate solutions
Care Enough to Take Risks Know your discipline Listen to others Seek to collaborate Dare to dream big

The Challenges Before Us
Climate Change Short window of opportunity 80% reduction of GHG by 2050
Peak Everything Oil, water, seafood, farmland . . .
Restoring Ecological Capital Air, water, soil – natural systems
Revitalizing Communities Clean, safe, human scale,
connected

How Did We Get Here?
Cheap oil, cheap travel Gobbling natural resources Becoming too mobile
Building everywhere, anywhere Sprawling infrastructure
Roads Housing Water
Ignoring distance Food Work Goods Travel

The High Cost of Auto-Centrism
Motor Vehicles as dominant mode 95% vehicle miles traveled 90% passenger miles
Environmental Costs Air quality - emissions Infrastructure (roads, parking) Wildlife killed and habitat
impaired Vehicle lifecycle costs
Ties to climate change

Post-Peak Transportation

Finding Solutions
Start with Communities What does livability look like?
Quiet, and green space Local jobs, shops, schools, play Local food, clean air, safe water Neighborliness - interaction Human-scale movement
Where does transportation fit in?

Pairing Mobility and Land Use
Changing the paradigm Can you give up your car?
Connecting systems / modes Can you get from A to B without gaps?
Choosing good technology Clean, safe, affordable, efficient
Prioritizing the best modes for scaled needs Walking, biking Great transit Accessories – automobiles, ships, planes, etc
