The CA EJ movement lost a hero when Jesse Marquez passed on 11/3. He founded Coalition for a Safe Environment & fought to clean up the San Pedro Bay ports. Today, I came across these interviews. The loss is too fresh to listen now but someday I will. oralhistory.library.ucla.edu/catalog/2119...

A 2021 study from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics showed that 52% of all trips in the U.S. were less than three miles. 28% of trips were less than one mile. With slight tweaks, many of those trips could be done on bikes, e-bikes and other light electric vehicles, and walking.
