    city residents worldwide need to choose modes like walking, biking and transit for at least 40 percent of the miles they travel by 2030 in order to prevent global heating from exceeding the 1.5°-degree (Celsius) threshold

        Yeah but I think the intent is to show the massive mode shift that is needed through policy changes, that our govt is simply unwilling to do
