Transition Towns WIKI :: Berkhamsted / Transport

Transition Town Berkhamsted - Transport Group

The Aims of the Transport Group
To create a Berkhamsted where:

The streets are safe for people
Cars do not dominate and the streets are designed to cope with all forms of transport, including walkers and cyclists
The town is connected, not divided, by the high street
The first choice is to walk, then to cycle and then to use public transport - the car is a last resort
Mindsets have changed, and it no longer seems weird not to own a car
All children walk to school, or travel by bus if they can't walk there
Safer streets bind people together - connections to other people are stronger as we meet on the street more
The town is more resilient to the threat of peak oil because we are no longer so dependent on fossil fuels for our transport
