About this challenge

Transportation shapes how people work, play, and connect. If getting around is slow, expensive, or unsafe, everything else gets harder.

This challenge asks you to make getting around your town easier, safer, or more sustainable.

Transportation is often a family's second-biggest expense after housing, and it's a major source of pollution.

The best transportation ideas fit the place they serve. A solution for a mountain town looks nothing like one for a floating city.
