Support Bike-Ped Infrastructure! Address the Missing Link in Gov. Lamont’s Transportation Plan!
Governor Lamont’s CT2030 Transportation Plan Does Not Mention Bicycles.
The Governor acknowledges that we need to increase the use of public transit and that public transit needs to work better. But how are people supposed to get to a train or bus station? One way is by bicycle!
Bicycling infrastructure needs to be included in any smart transportation plan. To address climate change, air pollution, and highway congestion, we need to reduce the miles traveled by car, and to do that we need to improve access to public transit. Bicycles do that by providing a way for people to reach trains or buses (the “first mile”) and a way to reach their final destination (the “last mile”).
