Transportation Choices

Leave a reply

They state that “over the last fifty years, the U.S. has developed a transportation system that is environmentally, economically and socially unsustainable. It was from this landscape that Transportation Choices Coalition emerged in 1993, inspired by the tremendous challenge of changing the state’s future. They seek to bring Washingtonians more and better transportation choices — real opportunities to take a bus, catch a train, ride a bike, or walk.”
