Abstract: The once-cherished American Dream of freely cruising the open roads has become a nightmare. Traffic congestion, environmental damage, and skyrocketing costs now define daily travel. What was once a symbol of freedom is now a source of frustration and harm, impacting both public health and the planet. Our reliance on cars is no longer sustainable, with time, money, and well-being all paying the price. Commuting has grown more difficult, stressful, and expensive than ever before. But it doesn’t have to stay this way—there are smarter, more sustainable ways to move from place to place that can improve life for all.
