From Stephen Ingrouille’s Transportation Newsletter:
SI: Do you think our governments are getting the message about active transport? There still seems to be this push to build more freeways. Much more money is going into roads and just a trickle into active transport.
Oz Kayak: Until more people participate in active transport, it’s a bit of a ‘Catch 22’.
SI: A ‘Catch 22’ and the ‘Chicken and the Egg’.
OK: Transport engineers who have a very strong environmental focus and social focus are fortunate that the medical profession is now strongly on the same side. Unfortunately, I don’t think that they are talking to each other often enough. We should be seeing the head of the medical profession, the head of the Engineering professions, getting together on the issue of sedentary behaviour and modelling it and health.
