It's Easy Being Green: TNG Transportation Survey – Results
This post was submitted by Michael
Last week, I discussed the environmental impact of transportation, and made the connection between where people live and how they choose to get around. I also asked you to tell me where you live, work and plan, and how you get around. The full results of the survey are below.
Brief summary: 80% of poll respondents live in urban places, 80% work in urban places, and 89% hang out in urban places for fun. It’s no surprise then that 91% of the respondents choose public transit or non-motorized modes of transport for both work trips and trips for leisure. It appears the TNG readership (or the self-selected sample who reads It’s Easy Being Green) have the transportation and land use connection figured out and live and work in urban places that are navigable without private automobiles. Fewer cars means fewer greenhouse gases, less pollution, less roadway run-off, and less blacktop.
