TUESDAY’S CONVERSATION: TRANSPORTATION

By Tom Sabulis
May 26, 2014

How do young professionals and college students move around the city? How do they use roads and transportation systems? What influences their choices? Today’s writers — a 27-year-old college English teacher and a 24-year-old Ph.d candidate at Georgia Tech — can begin to give us a clue. Both are avid bicyclists, but they infuse this old-school mobility with the latest technology and attitude. They represent a younger generation determined to inspire and help build the transportation systems they want — one by one, if necessary.

Today's columnists:
