The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the right math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

#CityMakingMath, hat tip to @modacitylife for their excellent books!

@BrentToderian @modacitylife I love having $ numbers to compare. But here in Canada urban transportation is a local govt issue and (largely) funded by property taxes; health is provincial & federal issue, and funded out of prov and fed purses. How do we connect these, so that local tax-resistant voters/citizens understand benefits to their wallets (the same wallet for all levels of govt, of course, but not experienced that way).
