NEW YORK—May 12, 2019—Morgan James’ new release, Tiny Transit for Cities: Cut Carbon Emissions in Your City Before It’s Too Late, by Susan Engelking, is a guide for Councils of Governments (COGs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) searching for practical ways for their cities to cut carbon emissions. As the founder of a grassroots movement to raise awareness and fight for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) to be protected and included in new urban and suburban planning efforts, Susan Engelking is passionate about enacting positive environmental change to city infrastructure.
Tiny Transit for Cities explains how Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) are a safe, low cost, and energy-efficient transportation option for climate-conscious mobility throughout a city. Susan Engelking explains that most cities classify NEVs as “Low-Speed Vehicles” that are generally outlawed on major roadways, as they cannot go above 25 miles per hour and do not offer the same protections for drivers as traditional automobiles. Engelking agrees that these vehicles are not safe to drive alongside of faster transportation, however she argues that, with LEAN Networks, they can become a cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient form of urban and suburban transport.
Within Tiny Transit for Cities, Susan Engelking describes an innovative, proven solution to improving air quality in cities: protected pathways for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). She claims that this new transportation alternative can offer economic resilience, reduced carbon emissions, energy independence, and improved safety for city residents. Engelking shows city planners how to incorporate LEAN Networks into existing transportation projects or new developments, such as corporate parks, college campuses, suburban neighborhoods and adjacent shopping centers, and urban downtown revitalization efforts.
