Multimodal Resources
Since the end of World War II, transportation investments have largely focused on the creation and maintenance of highways and vehicular travel lanes, particularly with the passage of the Highway Defense Act of 1956 which funded the Interstate Highway System. In recent years, it has been recognized that a multimodal transportation system which includes robust public transit, comprehensive bike and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as commuter assistance programs such as RIDE Solutions, can improve environmental conditions, health outcomes of a population, and can help address issues of equity.
