...Automobile apartheid means anyone who wants mobility through walking,
cycling, or public transportation suffers discrimination in a built
environment designed for automobiles. In the past 20 years, as automobile
addiction has increased, sprawl has run rampant, the number of trips people
take by walking has decreased by more than 42 percent, and obesity has
skyrocketed.

wherever one wants, whenever one wants. Americans should also have the
freedom to travel how they want. When cars are the only option, freedom is
diminished...
