Should we stop building roads? 

 

 Millenials Sans Cars  

Are They Making History?  

 

Come learn how you and  

your plans might be affected! 

 

Monday, May 19th, 4:00-6:30 PM

Historical Society of Pennsylvania 

1300 Locust St., Philadelphia 

 

Recent headlines point to a drop in cars on the road - especially among  Millenials. Nationally and in the Philadelphia region, young professionals in their early thirties or new to the job market are less eager to own or drive cars and more inclined to choose transit, walking and biking.   

 

Is this a trend or a blip? The change extends to teenagers as well. Evidence shows that many planners have so far ignored the changing statistics - vehicle miles traveled, per capita miles traveled... what's up? 

 

PenTrans brings you a panel of presenters - including Millenials themselves - to illuminate the facts and to highlight the key questions about  future transportation policy.
