Show kindness and respect and others will follow suit

Our goal is to encourage eye contact, smiles and conversation between all users of the street — to reduce anger, bad feelings and resentment between drivers, bicyclists and walkers. We are all trying to get where we are going. We can make our experiences with each other pleasant, or even fun.

Help us by reaching out to friends, neighbors and friends  to foster friendliness between modes of transportation to discuss how to make the situation better. Here are three things to talk about:

Behavior

Think about the choices you make as you go through the streets as a walker, cyclist or driver. What can you do to be kind to your fellow travelers? What are bad behaviors we should avoid?

Design

When street design reflects the needs of all users — bicycles, pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses—they are shared with civility What designs would make things more pleasant for you?

Laws

Streets move people and things from one place to another. How should laws change to better reflect the needs of all users?
