REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportHow has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
Stephanie Yager 4/02/2018 11:08 AMI commute to the office via public transit. It takes a little longer but I've found it is far less stressful than driving in traffic plus the added bonus of keeping a car off the road. Having the level of public transit available is a big part of why we moved here. I find driving to be rather stressful in the city and now prefer to take public transit, walk or bike as my modes of transportation. -

(Also she has both duck and chicken eggs available!)
