Bus-Only Shoulders Move Transit Commuters Past Congestion
Nearly 20 years ago, Metro Transit pioneered a simple way to get buses out of congestion by traveling on the shoulder instead of sitting in rush-hour congestion.
In 1992, it experimented on a few miles of freeway and liked the results: bus drivers could stay on schedule, commuters got to work or home faster and ridership increased.
After that initial success, Metro Transit teamed up with the state Department of Transportation and others to create Team Transit, a group dedicated to enhancing infrastructure to create transit advantages.

How & Why to Be Auto-Free
As clear as the phrase 'auto-free' might seem, it is open to some interpretation. Within the context of contemporary conditions, the choice to live auto-free occurs for a variety of reasons. The choice is made less free because of transportation policies, yet the movement to live free of cars is a growing one.
