Elected officials should be forced to go to their workplace several times a week by bike, this could greatly accelerate the improvement of roads for alternative means of transport. Do you agree ?
Every single public servant should get a free transit pass for the city they work in or live in.
Public service buildings should have parking for visitors and mobility requirements only.

Public transit should be free for everybody.
I agree. My point is making cars, generally, not allowed for public servants.
It’s a good pilot project to ensure transit is functional in an area, and public servants have a relatively stronger influence to improve things that will improve transit directly or indirectly.
By having public servants on public transit, you can almost force and alignment of their personal commute requirements, and the health of a city’s transit.
This is the right idea. Cycling excludes the disabled and elderly, and doesn’t improve things for families either. Putting the public servants on public transport would incentivise them to make it better, and that would make access better for everyone.
I’d give the buildings some parking for night workers, if they’re not able to use the visitor or disabled parking, just because lots of public transport doesn’t run overnight, and it wouldn’t make sense for it to run.
Include public transport as well, this sounds like a good idea.
This is a natural extension of “All congressmen should be put on Medicaid and banned from carrying supplementary insurance.”
I’m all for it. If they say it’s good enough for us, it should be good enough for them.
Maybe not just to their own workplace but also the occasional commute of a randomly chosen resident of their city.
Toronto’s new city mayor rides a bike to work, very refreshing.
My Alderman rides his bike down to city hall pretty regularly, I think him and a few of the other aldermen meet up occasionally to all bike to work. It’s pretty great. The city is still way to car-centric though.
I’m all for it. I’d like them to lead by example. If this was actually enforced I bet my bottom dollar that public transport/mirco-mobility issues would be completely solved in 15 years max.
