The set of options available for transportation—or more generally, “access to destinations” (or more generally still, “access to opportunities”)—is one of the most important determinants of our quality of life.

The availability of transportation options is a crucial determinant of climate outcomes. Transportation is one of the top main sources of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) as well as one of the sources that has the most concerning trends. Furthermore it’s central to adapting to being resilient in the face of climate change.
And the state of transportation choices enables and is enabled by other economic systems that govern well-being and climate action like housing, energy, food, air quality, and the ability to secure valuable goods and services.
