Danville Transportation

The town of Halton Hill’s population includes the areas of Georgetown and Acton and other communities such as Erin, Oakville, Burlington and Milton regions. This is what is considered to be my community because these are the many places that I am visiting most often and they are always referred to together as “Halton Hills Region” (p.5, 2011). With the substantial increase in population in the Halton Hills region, more specifically Georgetown, there should be a strong demand for a public transit system to counteract all of the environmental disturbances that are being caused due to this increase. One of the things that is happening is that there are so many trees they are cutting down in order to expand and grow the population with houses being built. Statistics are showing that the population of Halton Hill’s region will expand by 54% over the next 20 years (p.5, 2011). By the year 2031, employment rates will increase by 75%, leaving Halton with 42,100 jobs being offered (p.5, 2011). With this rapid influx of citizens, this will only increase the demands of travel to get to these work places as well as other destinations (p.5, 2011). Over the past couple of year’s the traffic congestion on the major roads in Halton Hills such as Trafalgar Road and Regional Road 25 with individuals trying to get to and from work. There used to be very little traffic in these areas, however since Halton Hill’s has continued to expand, the utilization of automobiles has significantly increased due to the fact there is no public transit system. The Transportation Demand Management in Halton Hill’s is noticing the increase in automobiles stating that there needs to be a major shift in more efficient ways of transportation, yet there still has been nothing improvised (p.7, 2011). The Transportation Demand

Transportation in the region has a long and successful past. However, public transportation has consistently taken a back seat to the personal automobile. There has been a strong core of persons who rely on public transportation to achieve mobility, and governmental

Traffic in downtown Austin, Texas is becoming a sever issue and is continuing to become slower and more congested every day. Austin ranks 4th on a list of U.S. cities with the least efficient roadways, and with its remarkable growth rate, the issue can only get worse. After reading numerous articles based on opinions and statements from local city planners and engineers, the best way to see an improvement in the traffic issue is to increase the amount of public transportation in the Austin area. The increase of public transportation would provide fast travel time and would help reduce the amount of money, commuters and locals use on gas by a substantial amount per year. Though many may argue the that we have enough public transportation already, reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road would decrease the amount of bumper to bumper traffic experienced on a daily basis, as well as increase the options for those commuting to the city every day. there are many possible solutions, such as widening the highways or even building them underground, these solutions however are not the most economically correct and productive way to relieve traffic downtown.

From here on, I am going to illustrate my lifestyle in a rural area versus a well developed city. I came from a small village in China. Walking to places has been build on me since I was a little kid; it was one of my habit. Back in the days, nothing seems handy to own. I remembered it was indeed hard to own a small motorcycle, not to speak of cars. On account of that, I treasure walking gratefully. I can walk to my school, relative's house, convenient stores, as well as markets for food. That has been my lifestyle for ten years until I came to the United States. My lifestyle has changed from walking to commuting through buses. San Francisco is a fairly developed city. We can access to every part of SF through muni, and the buses come in very often. Gradually, I start taking the bus to school, to hangouts with friends, and restaurants. I don’t remember when but I started to feel and think buses are so convenient. I rely on buses so much that I became surprisingly lazy. I would choose to take the bus even when the destination is

Encino-Tarzana’s mobility network supports a broad range of places and activities. The mobility network supports and reinforces land use policies and connects people to jobs, homes, services, and amenities. Although bike routes, pedestrian facilities, and bus services, including the dedicated Orange Line bus way, rapid bus, shuttle systems and paratransit currently exist and serve the community, private automobiles remain the primary mode of transportation within the Encino-Tarzana Community Plan area.

Transportation is an important aspect in the senior’s population when it comes to getting around to places like their doctor appointment or their daily morning program. Many older adults that do not have a family member to take them around depend on the public transportation such as buses, train, and taxi. In Boston, The MBTA provide a special program called The Ride that provided transportation to the elderly with a low cost. There are also other senior insurance companies that also provide their transportation through other transportation company. More than 20% of American at age 65 years old and older do not drive according to the federal government’s National Household Travel Survey (Abrahms, 2013) and in America, there about 8.4 million

Racism, everyone knows what this is, but does everyone know how inflicting it is? Racism has been apart of human culture for decades, but until recently, there hasn’t been any sign of a resolution., I am a freshman student attending Monte Vista High School, and I am writing to you in order to speak out on that issue we seemingly have been constantly experiencing. Its effects on Danville, and coincidentally, America, have been shaping society into a judgemental world, filled with stereotyping and racial profiling. Imagine you’re an African American teen. You go to school normally, and hang out with your usual friends. As you are talking you hear someone make a racist joke towards African Americans. You play it off as a joke, but inside, you
