REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking, or driving?
Megan Pape 10/15/2021 4:14 PMYes! And I do all of the above to get from school to work and home. If anything, I love my time outside while putting in efforts to reduce carbon emissions! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationIt takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. How have you used technology to replace in-person meetings or work this year?

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationThe US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and just 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?
Megan Pape 10/15/2021 4:11 PMYes, in fact I am even more concerned that only 2% goes to education. That’s really horrible. More focus on educating our youth and transportation! -
