Better Bike Infrastructure Could Save Cities $25 Trillion (And Slash Carbon Emissions)
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
If the rest of the world biked about a quarter as much as Amsterdam by 2050—where around 40% of trips happen by bike now—cities could save nearly $25 trillion dollars, according to a new report from the University of California-Davis and the Institute of Transportation and Development Policy. Carbon emissions from urban transportation would drop almost 11%, whereas if current trends continue, they'd double.
"A cycling city can provide an enormous amount of mobility at really low cost compared to a car-oriented city," says Lew Fulton, one of the co-authors of the report.
