Creating better transportation options in the Queen City

CHARLOTTE -- According to the organization Sustain Charlotte, “It's no secret that Charlotte's transportation network is primarily built for cars, not for people on bikes or on foot. But that's been changing in recent years as Charlotte Department of Transportation has taken an approach that considers the needs of not only auto drivers, but also those who cannot or choose not drive.”

That movement to create walkable cities is part of a wider effort that is making cities better for people of all ages. When it comes to meeting the needs of older adults, transportation options including walking make cities more age-friendly.

This week on “Without Limits,” you’ll hear from Sustain Charlotte’s Executive Director Shannon Binns who talks about the needs and progress being made in the Queen City when it comes to improving transportation options. You can listen to “Without Limits,” every Saturday evening on , 1110 AM or 99.3 FM in Charlotte.
