Sorry if the topic is not engaging. You can always ignore them. They’re mere suggestions.
Anyway, it’s election season again. Look for candidates who advocate for:
- Better public transport: More coverage, more frequency, more connections.
- Making walking and cycling safer, more viable, more comfortable. Graduate cycling from mere recreation to being utilitarian.
- Universal access, independence in mobility, and removal of barriers to mobility.
- Seriously combating climate change.
Most of these are municipal level decisions whose compositions are currently wholly unelected, but we have to act on what’s actionable, and state governments can influence local government to some extent.
