Graphic showing where various cities are placed relative to whether everyone walks their cycles, everyone uses public transit, or everyone drives.

This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

They should have access to answers BEFORE they ever cast a ballot.

The 2024 civic election is over.
We thank all candidates who participated in our survey and every voter who engaged in the democratic process.
We'll be back for 2028 with a better interface to make candidate information easier to process, but until then, stay engaged with us here.
