The Word on the Street

Inspired by our 30th Anniversary in 2015, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy is taking a look at how far the field of sustainable transportation has come, where it’s going next, and what it means to the people involved.  We asked advocates, experts, activists and everyone in between to share their perspective on sustainable transport in all its forms. Be it a love of biking, a commitment to stopping climate change, or their experience shaping urban growth, we reached out to friends and fellow city shapers to ask about what motivates them to be part of the movement toward sustainable urban mobility.

Here are a few of our favorite responses, with more added every week:
