does the city of seattle actually have mode shift goals or targets? are we anywhere close to hitting them?
the city of freiburg has halved number of trips by car - and as they add car-light ecodistricts and densify city - this shift will keep increasing
freiburg grew by 20%, & reduced CO2 emissions per capita by a third, since 1992.
bike infra investment
transit investment and prioritization
pedestrian zones
re-compaction and car-light ecodistricts
investment in green energy
seattle's CO2 per cap has been flat for last decade
city of essen's mode shift goals
seattle's road transportation emissions.
cars cars cars are the problem
do you think we're re-purposing roads to prioritize green mobility, better quality of life, and climate action in a major way?

LMAO we're turning 4 lane roads, into 9 and 10 lane roads instead.

think we've added diverters to make it easy to bike/walk/bus, reduce cut-through traffic and induce more sustainable modes of mobility?
like this?
nope
salzburg's modal split 2018/2030 goal
vienna's modal splits between 1993-2019 have shifted drastically - and their biking infra is improving much more than ours
less than a quarter of kids in vienna get to school by being driven by their parents
whoa
even in vienna's single family homes and duplexes - most people aren't driving in car (Pkw) or a passenger
squad goals??
