M3.5 Transportation
San Francisco is doing a good job at trying to incorporate public transportation and the use of bicycles for the primary form of transportation. My current city, Walnut Creek, is incorporating further usage of bicycles by form of LimeBikes. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system is one of mine and my peers' way of transporting around the bay area. We try to limit using our cars or to carpool if we could. This is an amazing system that we use because it is easily accessible to us. However, we are also doing the environment some justice by utilizing these systems. It is so great the American Public Health Association has planning organizations for various cities to bring more bicycle paths and walking projects. These projects reduce obesity by giving people access to other methods of transportation and influence an active lifestyle.

Having transportation like BART is definitely very useful. I am jealous that you have it at your convenience :) Although Sonoma County has a Smart Train now, Marin County will not allow the train to go through it to SF, so transporting from SR to SF via public transportation is a nightmare lol. It is exciting to learn that the American Public Health Association has plans to create additional bike paths and walking projects. Especially since our lifestyles have becoming increasingly sedentary, it will be helpful to utilize these systems.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteI think many cities are rolling out bicycles which is a great idea and a great way to reduce CO2 emissions and for exercise. Hawaii have been trying out a new pilot bike sharing program and it's gaining popularity which shows that the public agree that it is a useful tool.
