Mobility

Using the best design and engineering, LA can create safe, pleasant dignified mobility that is empathetic to the user experience and will scale up so people will realistically choose to opt into a car light / car free lifestyle.

Carsharing apps can also be a powerful force for equity because they give everyone 24-hour access to a car on a fee-per-ride basis—a much better deal for those who work from home, families that only need a second car occasionally, anyone who wants a smaller carbon footprint, and low-wage workers who are forced to spend 30% of their income on a car.

The same way a bridge is engineered to never fail and a plane is engineered to always fly, a bike lane can be engineered to always be safe. 

Not only is car dependency damaging to the environment and the vibrancy of our city, it also has a real financial impact and is a hidden cost barrier preventing upward mobility for working-class families.
