from Streets and People · host Get Around Caboolture
Transport expert Todd Litman, founder of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, joins us to talk about rethinking mobility, reducing car dependence, and his research on the Mobility Productivity Paradox—why more driving can actually lower productivity. We discuss how walkability, public transport, and cycling make communities healthier and fairer, and how better planning can help suburbs like Caboolture become more multimodal. After the recording, Todd shared that Caboolture’s Walk Score is 33, highlighting its car dependence—and its potential to changewith investment in footpaths, pedestrian crossings, bikeways, and public transport. We also touch on Jennifer Kent’s research about how many everyday trips, like walking the dog, show the hidden value of walkable communities.GetAroundCaboolture.au
