We live in a car dependent culture, which means that the car is the only convenient, safe, and socially accepted means of transportation - despite 20-40% of people not being able to drive. Even those who have a driver’s license are disadvantaged by a lack of transportation options (i.e. walking, rolling and transit). The identities most impacted include racialized people, women, transgender and nonbinary people, the young, the old, the disabled, and the poor… not to mention people who just plain old don’t wanna drive! Chances are, you know a lot of people who fit into at least one of those groups.
