Transportation
Davis has been a leader in developing a community transportation system that provides alternatives to automobile travel. Walking, biking, buses, and trains provide real options for travel within and outside the community for most residents. It is anticipated that the importance of this type of diversified system will increase in coming years since transportation accounts for a large portion of the community’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Community achievements in transportation:
- 1st bike lanes in the United States. 1st dedicated bike signals at major intersections. 100+ miles of bike lanes and paths.
