moving our community and planet forward

Transportation accounts for 30% of our community's greenhouse gas emissions. It's not as big as heating and cooling buildings and homes, but it's a pretty large chunk. While the switch to EVs helps get the emissions out of our community, it essentially relocates them to where the energy is being produced (unless you're completely generating all your own solar energy, then hats off to you!).

The (whole) answer isn't swapping all gas cars for electric ones, but rather swapping cars for bikes of all kinds, public transportation, and walkable neighborhoods. One of the objectives of Princeton's Climate Action Plan is to reduce community-wide miles traveled by vehicle, and this issue is dedicated to making your spring commute a little greener and maybe a little more fun.

You don't need a new bike or new anything just a little patience and an open mind to going a different way, literally.
