REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport

How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

grew up on a farm where a car was essential to get to town. However we had 1 car for 8 people. I often wonder if 2 person household really needs 2 cars.

  My grandfather had a good old fashion station fake wood paneled station wagon and we'd pack 8 or 10 kids in there stacked like books on a shelf. No seat belt laws back then! But even so, I agree totally that we rely on cars far too much. I know families with 2 adults and 2 just barely driving age kids....and 4 cars. Jeanette and I have had 1 car for the four of us (and a dog) for 23 years, but I admit I am fortunate to live close enough to work to ride or walk as you know, which isn't the case for many people.
