Better Infrastructure for Bicyclists

• Bike lanes need to be boarded and separated from vehicle lanes

• This would not only improve the safety of cyclists but also encourage more people to opt for bike commuting

• Citywide bike sharing programs can and should also be expanded

Encourage More Carpooling and Ride-Sharing

• Carpooling helps people save money on fuel, reduces traffic congestion, and cuts down on carbon emissions.

• If more cities started encouraging this and did more to promote ride-share services, the number of people who have access to and utilize these services would increase

Invest in Alternative Fuel Technology

• Specifically, more investments in things like electric transportation and zero-emission vehicles could go a long way toward reducing carbon emissions

• Cities can also look into using vehicles that run on natural gas.

Make Communities More Pedestrian-Friendly

• Developing cities and neighborhoods that are more walkable and pedestrian friendly will encourage more people to walk, which would reduce the number of cars on the roads.

• Walkable communities also encourage people to be more active, which promotes healthier more holistic lifestyles.
