Susan Engelking has assembled the ‘Electric Avengers’ in the field of micromobility and LEAN infrastructure systems that benefit cities by making them more livable. Mayors nationwide could benefit from learning more about her vision of how people get around inside the cities of the future.

Susan’s forward thinking is a no brainer once you think about it. Safer networks for people-moving mean less auto-dependency, which opens up roads for those who actually need them, like box trucks and long haulers. I like the specificity. It adds a dimension.

In her engaging style, Susan Engelking walks city leaders though a series of actions to make their cities more livable, affordable, sustainable, and resilient. This is ‘thinking globally, acting locally’ at its best.

Amory Lovins famously said, ‘Energy conservation isn’t a free lunch. It’s a lunch we pay you to eat!’ And now Susan Engelking has served up a banquet in her inspiring new book, Tiny Transit. Engelking shows how innovation is already blooming coast-to-coast as cities open the way for small, low-emission vehicles to expand mobility, reduce congestion, advance safety, and cut air pollution—all at a fraction of the cost of conventional infrastructure.
