The Technology Keeps Getting Better

The folks at Sightline wrote it up before I could. Two new apps help us make better transportation choices:

  • The folks at Walkscore have a tool that helps you figure out the places from which you can commute to a job in a given amount of time, billed as "Apartment Search".
  • Reroute.it will calculate the cost, time, calories and greenhouse gas impacts of taking any given trip by different modes.

Compute in good health...

I love this stuff and I've pointed some friends to it. I just wonder- will these sorts of tools make it to the masses? Its really about the triangle- Work-Home-(Hangouts- shopping, friends, etc). It can make sense to live far from work if you have connections to the area in some other form
