A few things I learned from the four points made in the article.
Bus shelters help people perceive shorter wait times, perception drives behavior.
Sidewalks and intersection improvements make walking more attractive and funnel commuters into other modes
my favorite phrase "catalyze mode shift"
let bikes on trains and subways
well considering that many US cities don't have trains or subways, this isn't really a big issue to me. but maybe the cities that do have these services account for a large share of cyclists?
Anyway, they need to talk about money, how can this save money! But instead they need to talk about perception, and compare apples to oranges, the USA to Utrecht. I'm convinced, but I already was. Maybe hearts and minds, I can't be sure.
