🚶‍♀️ A new study ranks the Phoenix metro among the least walkable major cities in the U.S., calling it a car-dependent city. Tempe’s Transportation Director says progress is being made with more funding for buses and light rail — but some leaders say it’s still not enough. State Sen. Analise Ortiz joined the “Week Without Driving” challenge, going car-free for seven days. She called it eye-opening, sharing how tough it was to commute and shop for her family using only public transit. “This experience will shape how I approach policy,” Ortiz said. #Phoenix #ArizonaNews #Transportation #ValleyMetro #Tempe #PublicTransit
