0.7%! We’re a juggernaut!

Yes, but “use caution” with those small percentages.

What were we talking about, getting people out of their cars is just a fantasy??? See slide 10.

Use caution? So, do you mean I shouldn’t say biking is the fastest growing means of transportation by percentage growth by more than doubling in the last decade? Or that “other” equals the amount of bikers? (What is an other when biking, walking, carpooling, mass transit, automobile, and work at home are all choices–I mean is someone flying or swimming to work? That’s all I can think of to fit the other category.)

Skateboard, rollerskate, horseback, or, unless counted in the SOV category, motorcyle/scooter.

I was being sarcastic. The small print on one of the slides says to use caution or something like that…

I’m going to make that into a T-Shirt with a T-Rex eating a car and shooting fire out of its nose. Who is at the top of the food chain now Mr. Hummer who likes to run the stop sign on Lincoln?
