I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one - and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces.
My disability exists not because I use a wheelchair, but because the broader environment isn't accessible.
Does anyone know if Lamborghini makes wheelchair vehicles? If not, I want to change that.
The urban middle classes found the bicycle so appealing because it was the first transportation mode that was both private and within their economic grasp. The price of new bicycles ranged from $100 to $150 in 1893 and averaged $80 in 1897. Used bicycles were also available at cheaper prices
Young people need the serenity that comes from a stable home, safe streets, regular income, opportunities for travel and study, affordable transport, and a real stake in the future.
Personally, I like a generous side of wheelchair access with my cities.
As the technology is developed, autonomous driving could provide driving opportunities for the physically challenged or enable the elderly to continue driving longer. This will be vital as many nations experience an aging population.
One important role for the city is to conduct studies to document areas of greatest need, and to facilitate coordination between our public and private transportation options to weave it into a dense tapestry of accessible and reliable transportation.
