Thunderhead Alliance Guide to Complete Streets Campaigns (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Our nation's transportation system is a death trap for the third of our citizens who do not drive. A full 13% of traffic deaths are bicyclists and pedestrians yet most roadways are still being built with only motor vehicles in mind.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit users of all ages and abilities safely and enjoyably travel along and across complete streets. Complete streets policies require safe accommodation of all users. Thunderhead's National Complete the Streets Campaign is helping our organizations win complete streets policies in all 50 states by 2008 to influence a federal-level policy through the reauthorization of the federal transportation law. This tapestry of local, state and federal policies will ensure all transportation projects are complete.

If you are a leader or potential leader of a Thunderhead organization, this Guide is for you. If you are not such a leader, it is your window into this fascinating world. Read as if you are such a leader and bring these elements to your own officials. Sometimes all it takes is one determined, professional voice.
