Commuter rail

Summary of Findings •High quality public transportation (convenient, comfortable, fast rail and bus transport) and transit oriented development (walkable, mixed-use communities located around transit stations) tend to affect travel activity in ways that provide large health benefits, including reduced traffic crashes and pollution emissions, increased physical fitness, improved mental health, improved basic access to medical care and healthy food and increased affordability which reduces…

communities nearby transportation centers instead of communities that are far from transportation stations and suburbs that depends on car to go from one place to another. Government should also to invest in and expand public transportations such as commuter rail to give people real transportation options.

The way that Australia gets it's power is mainly from 7 different technology forms. One is wind power. They whole use turbines to catch the wind and transfer it to power. Another way is solar. They would use solar power panels to turn sun rays into power. There are actually two different types of solar panels. One is called a solar PV that just goes on the roof or a yard to generate enough power for the house. Another is called a CSP solar panel. This panel stretches across a plain and gives…

For the past few decades, suburbanization of population and employment has been easily observed in large metropolitan areas all over the world, which is generally referred to as “sprawl”. This phenomenon has accompanied not only the spatial redistribution of population, but also the geographical relocation of firms, which has brought about several urban problems – for instance, severe traffic congestion due to the growing distance between jobs and housing, inefficient energy consumption due to…
