Winter Walking and Cycling

[Bytor]

You're absolutely right. We waste money on roads. But I think the worst thing that the regional engineers have done is refuse to even plan for flat or decreasing VMT. The current traffic plan still accounts for significant VMT increase. It's like, you're planning for failure...it's a great way to fail.

Given how swiftly our population is increasing, VMT is going to increase no matter what, even with GRT ridership growing as fast as it usually does. Even though vehicle mode share is slowly decreasing, the raw VMT is still growing.
