(Full size of i-sustain graphic)
Came across this content today from i-sustain showing clearly how 200 people would take 177 cars stretching a long way on 5 lanes of traffic (35+ rows of vehicles) or three buses. Or with some standing up, one light rail train.
In early 2012, “i-SUSTAIN conceived and organized the Commuter Tookit Photo Shoot to get the images for the Commuter Toolkit poster and associated website. The photo shoot involved shutting down a main downtown Seattle street for several hours early on a Sunday morning to set up the photo shoot with hundreds of volunteers.” Still a powerful piece of transit photography several years later.
Folks, we have one political party representing a side of the aisle that sure talks a lot about “congestion relief”. Said political party might put up a fight to ST3 & Community Transit’s local option. Let’s remind all legislators what congestion relief actually looks like, muscle any & all roadblocks out of the way, and let’s get ST3 & Community Transit on the ballot.
Let’s resolve in 2015 to show the truth that if you want congestion relief, please support your local mass transit providers. Thank you.
