How many vehicles does your family own?

How many are enough?

Do you drive everywhere you go?

Do you drive for trips that take five minutes or less?

Do you drive your kids to school every day?

Do you drive to get a cup of coffee?

Do you own more than one vehicle?

Is driving the first and usually only method of transportation you consider?

Does the amount you spend on your vehicle(s) prevent you from doing other things you want to do?

If you answered yes to any of the above, your household may be suffering from AutoObesity.

Clogged transportation arteries, bloated carbon footprints, difficulty breathing, muscular weakness and atrophy, dependence, addiction, danger to children on the streets, accidents, injury, and malnourished wallets are just a few of the symptoms of  the plague of AutoObesity throughout Metro Vancouver and North America.

With about 85 percent of households owning a car, and more than half or those owning two or more motor vehicles, close to 60 percent of automobile trips are taken for short distances that could be comfortably made by walking and biking.

It is not your fault if your household is AutoObese. We've built our cities to accommodate cars rather than people. This has created an epidemic of AutoObesity and automobile addiction.
