Welcome to this action blog to cut U.S. oil use! We'll do it with:
1. Healthy Communities with great transit, safe and pleasant bicycling and walking;
2. Electric Vehicles, including charging from renewable electricity and zero-emission buses;
3. Less diesel via new truck standards, local electric trucks, freight to rail and rail electrification.

Not only do they provide convenient zero-emissions mobility, they have added wonderful artistic flair to the urban design of both historic and modern areas. Here are four of my favorite examples. Also see Trams in France, Wikipedia, and Oil Free Transportation.
