Galvin Mobility Project 
Most of our great cities began as hubs for commerce, where motion was constant. But now, chronic traffic congestion slows the motion that made our cities vital and prosperous. If we are to save our slowing cities, we must act boldly.
The Galvin Project to End Congestion is producing the solutions that will end congestion as a regular part of life.
