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 beyond.

It's no secret that AutoObesity is a disease. BEST has a solution.

With about 85 percent of households owning a car, and more than half or those owning two or more motor vehicles, and close to 60 percent of automobile trips taken for short distances that could comfortably be made by active transportation methods, there is ample room for slimming down of the automobile variety.

BEST's AutoObesity program is the urban version Mobility Matters which is more oriented to neighbourhoods in other Metro Vancouver municipalities that do not have the transit infrastructure of the urban core.

With personal motor vehicles being major contributors to green house gases, with cars eating up on average close to 20 per cent of household budgets, and with growing health concerns and costs due to inactivity, there's no better time to get "Auto Fit" than right now.
