Everything you know about transportation is wrong
Transportation plays a significant role in our daily lives, impacting everything from the food we eat to the places we live and even the relationships we develop. But although we all engage with transportation, misconceptions about driving, cycling and public transit, particularly in cities, are widespread. These myths prevent us from embracing transportation solutions that are more efficient, fair and sustainable, and ultimately keep cities from unlocking their full potential. In this talk, we will debunk some of the most persistent transportation fallacies that have existed for decades, and explore innovative solutions and opportunities to enhance commuting experiences, create better cities and promote a greener, more equitable future for everyone.
