Class 3 CTA’s

Individual: Since visiting Türkiye, we nearly used 100% public transportation. But here for the most part it makes travel easier compared to a private vehicle. I will also be using buses in my commute when I get back.

Systemic Actions:

I read about the Transportation District Benefit Tax in the Bellevue Newspaper! I do think it is nice to invest in local transportation but I believe this doesn’t really get down to the bottom of the issue of why most people prefer not to use public transportation in the USA, let alone Seattle. I believe for the most part public transportation in Seattle is highly inconvenient any travel outside of a municipality, you have yo use multiple bus and subway routes, and even then you will walk so much. A distance of 30 minutes can easily become 1.5 hours. I think if we want to reduce emissions, we should invest in integrating rideshare apps into local transportation so that they are convenient for daily commute.

Class 3 Homework

Individual Action:I constantly take the Bellhop Circuit, but recently I have been using the Lime scooters. I challenge myself to walk around town, but only drive when grocery shopping. Systematic action:I convinced my neighbor to download the choose your way Bellevue app. I also introduced him to the light rail and how convenient it can be. I also convinced all my friends going to the UW football game to take the light rail with me this upcoming Saturday.
