== History == | |||
<!-- CAT was formed in the early 1990's to encourage independence from the automobile. These were times of increasing sensitivity to environmental concerns, public health challenges of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and asthma, and socio-economic fragmentation due to faster traffic and highways dividing neighborhoods. Truthfully, not much has changed, because culture is hooked on the concept of speed=efficiency=good, but with new strategies to offer choices for people ready to make a change, as well as engaging people where they're at.. not ready for a big change, but testing the waters of possibilities, such as recreational cyclists trying more functional trips, such as car-commuters trying public transit just once, or a few times, such as walking or rolling a wheelchair from point A to B... --> | |||
