Draft CART Ped engineering policy paper

X Draft X

What policy recommendations should we present at the Ped Summit? Please leave your feedback in the comments.

A pedestrian-friendly community is one that accords the same priority and respect to pedestrians as to other travelers. Walking is transportation, and it is a vital part of our economy and our city. The time of considering pedestrians as second-class citizens on our roads should end now.

Louisville Pedestrian & Wheelchair Users Mailing List

walk@cartky.org

This list serves as a sounding board for pedestrian issues in Louisville. Discussion of pedestrian issues usually focuses on the so-called five 'E's: Education, Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement, and Evaluation. Also, obviously, we mean to include not just people walking, but also people using a wheelchair and running. (Bicyclists please go here or here instead).

You are welcome here

Any citizen of Louisville is welcome to subscribe to the list, and any subscriber is welcome to send mail to the list.

BRUKI

Bus Rider's Union of Kentucky & Indiana

The Bus Rider's Union of Kentucky & Indiana lobbied for the needs of bus riders: Busses with useful schedules, safe/warm/dry shelters, responsible drivers, and transparent windows.

BRUKI was an attempt by CART to break out of it's normal target demographic and engage better the majority of Louisville's transit users. However, BRUKI never got the critical mass to become an effective voice for public transportation, and is effectively dead.

Transit First Initiative

The Transit First initiative was once here,
but alas, it has gone nowhere
and now is not even here anymore.
