Here's what we'll learn today Reader

Clearly I have been COOKED this month and have not much left to give these Changeletters, but I wanted to check in tonight and say I still am so grateful that you're here, reading these, learning about what you can do for a better future.

I've been a bit strapped in September because of all our Seattle gala planning, and I'm also heading to Montana later to start a Soapbox pop-up!

Here's our event calendar; no matter where in the world you live maybe you can get some inspiration and see if you might want to join the fun...or bring the fun to YOU!

Today's Changeletter will be another short one: a few case studies of transit revolutions around the world.

Your bite-sized action plan Reader

Today, your mission is to choose a video to watch on the transformation from car dependency to connectivity.

Example 1: From car-clogged streets to cycling capital: Copenhagen's transformation blueprint​

What better example of the a transit revolution than Copenhagen, known for its successful bicycle infrastructure? The city wasn't always that way: much like many cities around the world, it was choked with cars.

Here are a few things Copenhagen implemented (check out the article for more):

• They priced cars to reflect true costs (driving in many cities is highly subsidized)
• They designed for universal access, not just young athletes. Cycling should be for everyone!
• They committed politically for decades, not election cycles.

And now HALF of Copenhagen's commutes happen by bicycle! Imagine what it would be like for you if that was your life?!

Example 2: Why Seoul Transformed a Freeway Into A Public Park

Example 3: How This Small City Tripled Its Cycling In Just 11 Years (Victoria, BC)
