Non-car Transportation Rises Dramatically in California

Almost one-quarter of household trips in California involve non-car transportation, a figure that's more than double what it was in 2000, according to the recently released Caltrans California Household Travel Survey. California officials are using these figures to back up their plans for a $129 million "Active Transportation Program" that will fund "human-powered transportation projects and programs to increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking." http://www.laweekly.com/informer/2014/03/11/nearly-1-in-4-california-household-trips-involve-walks-bikes-buses-or-trains Article courtesy of Smartgrowth.com from LA Weekly by Dennis Romero
