Portland State University has published a comic treatment of our autoism and primer on transportation planning!

| Moving from Cars to People |
They write:
It's in everyone's interest for non-transportation-professionals to have a working knowledge of the conversation that's happening around sustainable transportation options. When important policy questions show up on a ballot – for example, whether businesses should be required to provide a certain amount of parking spaces, or whether the state should subsidize public transit – people who aren't in the transportation industry might not be fully aware of the tradeoffs involved in these questions.
It's also a good thing for people who are in the know already, because why not make things fun and approachable?
For more see:
- At BikePortland, "PSU artists and transportation researchers team up on new comic book"
- At PSU, with download links and physical copy order options, "Moving From Cars To People: A Comic About Transportation and Land Use"
- And an interview with the authors, "Communicating Research through Comics: Transportation and Land Development"
Also, today's New York Times has on the front page a piece on induced demand. The failure of adding lanes and capacity is mainstream, common sense now!
