“Electric cars are still cars. The focus on electric cars stands in the way of truly transformative change: better public transit and better laid-out cities that encourage active modes of getting around, such as cycling.”

Fewer (& smaller) cars, less driving, more choices, better cities.

No, electric cars are not the magic pill to save us from climate change

The Liberals are under pressure to match the U.S. in pledging billions in subsidies for electric cars, but such vehicles are not the panacea

It's a commitment to own a hot rod nowadays. State authorities can make it hard to register. Plus these cars drink a lot of fuel. Not many are used as commuters daily.

And being a hot rod event, they rarely stay still for long. Always moving, doing blocks, rolling in and out. Something about the hot rod scene, it's very mobile.

Taken in 2011 at a car parts store here in Melbourne who supply a lot of parts to the hot rod scene. They have an annual Xmas party and you never know what might show up. Lots of hot rods.

It’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers.

Let’s spread this message as much as we can.

Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more people within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better.
