Video: Sustainable Transportation

Here’s a video in which I introduce a new 2GreenEnergy Associate – Dan Sturges, a senior consultant in sustainable transportation.  As we sit here today, there are a few dozen of the world’s great cities that have extremely aggressive goals with respect to transforming the way their citizens move their bodies and their cargo — those who aspire to become beacons of hope and progress in this space.

While most state and local government groups are happy to maintain the status quo for as long as possible, thank goodness, that’s not true of all.  And for these few forces of progress, Dan stands ready to help them wrap their wits around all the issues re: electric transportation, mass transit, car-sharing, incentives to encourage for walking, biking, ride-sharing, car-sharing, etc.

    All of the above have a rôle to play. Presumably none will use fossil fuels.

    Eliminating the need for private cars has an advantage that is rarely mentioned. Owning a private car is expensive and some people cannot afford one. Without practical alternatives to private cars, people who cannot afford a private car often have their employment opportunities severely limited. Even people who can afford private cars would often be better spending the money on something else, such as education.
