Introduction
Choosing to walk, bike, or roll rather than drive to some destinations offers numerous benefits. Not only does it promote better health and well-being, but it also reduces transportation costs and contributes to a cleaner environment. By simply replacing some car trips with walking or biking, San Diegans can make a meaningful impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
The actions in this measure are meant to create a safe, connected, and convenient network for pedestrians and cyclists in order to encourage people to incorporate these alternative transportation modes into their travel options.
