Fewer cars, better health, more justice

Toward a greener, healthier transportation system

What’s new at Sustainable Transportation Vermont
Making Strides Toward Better Health
Vermont Health Department Coordinator Jared Ulmer describes how our auto-based transportation system is affecting our health, and what public health officials and civic leaders are doing to help make travel more active.
Cycling Infrastructure: A Social Justice Issue
Laura Jacoby and Sammy Hedlund of Old Spokes Home write about how bikes offer freedom and mobility for the many Vermonters who can’t afford to own a car and why we need transportation investments that serve everyone.
If you have ideas abut how Vermont, and other rural places, can move toward a more sustainable transportation system, please get in touch.

We welcome short essays and reports from the field from policy makers, transportation and land use planners, housing and health advocates, citizen activists and others working on issues affecting sustainable mobility, as well as regular folks who live with the impacts of our transportation system every day.
