>> De-Car-ing: The idea of cars as safety devices. De-car-ing isn’t more dangerous than driving, says Kathryn Pope: “Going out without a car helps us (especially women) feel and be more free in the world (anyone remember the “Take back the Night” campaign?) — and it helps to create a world of walkers and bikers, to begin creating community in our neighborhoods and cities. It can’t happen overnight, but I think it can happen, and each trip we take without a car, we speed up the process.”

>> Join the public transit discussion on the Transit Coalition’s boards. Especially compared with the disorganized comment streams of most transit blogs, the Transit Coalition’s boards are fairly well organized by topic and transit line, allowing you to quickly follow a discussion about the issues that affect you.
