Transportation Affects Everything
Did you know that…
Society
In Baltimore City, only 8% of jobs are accessible by public transit in less than an hour.
In rural America, 25% of the population is unable to regularly access health care services due to inadequate mobility options.
In America in 2025, these conditions should be unacceptable to all of us. Our narratives will co-address these issues with actual communities around the country.
Economy
The average American driver spends 45 hours sitting in traffic each year, equivalent to over a week of lost productivity per person.
The trucking industry alone loses nearly $109 billion annually due to congestion.
Approximately 8 million Americans hold two jobs in order to make ends meet. How much additional time do these already over-worked people lose each day due to insufficient mobility systems? How can these problems remain unresolved in 2025?
Environment
The transportation sector is America’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Communities of color experience 75 times more pediatric asthma rates, primarily due to greater exposure to vehicle particulate emissions.
Close to 100 million Americans per day commute alone to work. Why is that still the case? It’s not always a personal preference. For many, other options simply don’t exist.
