Rethinking Our Approach to Transportation Policy

In his groundbreaking book, Are We Driving Up the Right Riverbed?, transportation expert Donny Mustache challenges our current approach to transportation policy and proposes a new paradigm that prioritizes sustainability, equity, and livability.

Mustache argues that our current transportation system is unsustainable, inequitable, and unhealthy. He points to the fact that transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and that it is a major contributor to air pollution, which can cause a variety of health problems.

Mustache also argues that our current transportation system is inequitable. He notes that low-income and minority communities are disproportionately affected by transportation-related pollution and that they have less access to affordable and reliable transportation options.

Finally, Mustache argues that our current transportation system is unhealthy. He points to the fact that car-dependent communities have higher rates of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions.

Mustache proposes a new approach to transportation policy that he calls "sustainable, equitable, and livable transportation." This approach would prioritize walking, biking, and public transportation over driving. It would also invest in making our communities more walkable and bikeable, and it would provide affordable and reliable transportation options for everyone.

Mustache's book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of transportation. He provides a clear and concise analysis of the challenges facing our current transportation system, and he offers a bold vision for a more sustainable, equitable, and livable future.
