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?

Transportation
Transportation has been known to help the community get around, and saves the environment from producing more greenhouses gases. In the United States, transportation is 29% of their greenhouse gas emissions. I know that I can personally start taking more transits in my area, because it will decrease my personal carbon footprint along with some greenhouse gas emissions produced just from me driving to school. Transits decrease travel demand, and gets multiple people to get where they are going, and not just one person. Taking the bus to school gets me and 40 other people there, while taking a car wastes a minute amount of gas, but produces more emissions if I were to take a car every day over a bus.
