The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.
It's incredibly smart investment to build urban spaces around the idea you want people to be able to walk and cycle. Doing that makes it possible for people to take part in activity that is very important to physical, mental, and emotional health.
@BrentToderian@modacitylife but here in the US, we waste private money on health care and then waste 10x as much public money on the problems caused by that policy. But that doesn't even begin to account for what we waste on cars.
