this was the stupidest book I have ever read. perchance I just grew up in a non car-centric environment but all of these takes are so lukewarm and she’s acting like this book is the second coming.

Highly recommend this read. I really enjoy when authors incorporate meaningful facts such as: 30% of US citizens do not drive, while incorporating personal stories of the challenges these people experience to get places in their community. Personal stories seem to make more meaningful impact than data alone. I agree we need to mobilize a base of citizens to include active mobility in order to decarbonize our transportation system, rather than thinking of electrification alone. If you want to join me in these efforts in Iowa City please message me!
What we all need is a transformation of the way we organize mobility, housing, and public space so that we have options for getting around that do not rely on driving a car. We need safe, connected places to walk, roll, and ride: transit that is as reliable as driving; and land use and remote access opportunities that reduce how much we have to travel. This transformation can move us away from the most harmful public health and climate impacts of automobility and start to create a more inclusive mobility system.

An eye-opening look at the status quo and how it fails to meet the needs of so many people. The book delves into who are no drivers, what they need, what we all need, and what to do about it. Anna doesn't mince words in pointing out the challenges, but also inspires and provides concrete actions we can take every day to start turning the car dependency ship around.

This is my top transportation book of the year—Anna clearly outlines what’s at stake for nondrivers in our transportation system, its relation to other systems of oppression, and pulls together the latest research on it all. Zivarts also just communicates everything in an accessible way with a whole lot of heart.
