March 2012 Podcasts

SDOT is taking the month of March to let folks know about our work to make transit a convenient and viable travel choice in Seattle.  Good public transit ties our neighborhoods together, helps alleviate congestion, reduces pollution and improves community health. Transit improvements are one of the best, most cost-effective investments to improve Seattle’s streets. 

Listen to Barbara and Heather talk about walking to the bus, how easy and cheap it is and the bonus of extra free time.

January 2012 Podcasts

SDOT is taking the month of January to ask folks to replace one car trip a week with a walking or biking trip.  It can be as short as a close-by walk to the neighborhood library, or as long as a bicycle commute downtown.  It’s an easy way to have a positive impact on traffic congestion and air quality – not to mention working off some of that holiday cheer.

Barbara and Heather talk about their resolve to walk and bike more and be healthy in 2012.
