Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

First of all, I would invest more money in a public transit system. Transportation accounts for 29% of total carbon emissions and out of that 29%, 57% are Cars and SUV's. According to the Federal Transit Emission, specifically using light rail systems save carbon emissions. These systems produce 62% less than solo automotive vehicles. These changes can radically help us to reduce carbon emissions.
