A segment from the NewsMakers program produced by Arlington Virginia Network featuring the Car-Free Diet Expo that took place at the Hotel Palomar in Rosslyn.
A
A
B
B
I
was
researching
my
book,
I
kept
getting
emails
from
people
in
arlington
virginia
and
I
had
heard
of
it.
I
knew
it
was
right
across
the
river
from
DC
and
I
was
amazed
at
all
these
people
saying:
oh,
it's
so
easy.
I
don't
own.
A
car
I've
never
owned
a
car.
I
live
in
arlington,
it's
great.
So
that's
why
I
realized
I've
got
to
go
to
arlington
and
figure
out
what
these
folks
are
up
to
and
now
that
I
come
here
and
I
see
all
the
awesome
options
that
you
guys
have
created
for
your
citizens.
C
D
C
D
D
Around
you
can
see
that
people
are
biking
and
walking
more
and
that
the
trains
have
never
been
so
crowded
and
the
buses.
The
ridership
is
growing
all
the
time
and
we're
adding
people
in
Arlington
it
in
in
both
residents
and
commercial
buildings.
And
yet
the
traffic
isn't
getting
any
worse.
And
that's
because
people
are
considering
these
options
and
every
once
in
a
while
they're
taking
like.
B
D
Asking
people
who
live
in
Arlington
or
who
work
in
Arlington
to
just
consider
giving
up
one
of
their
car
trips
or
a
few
car
trips
a
week.
We
don't
expect
everybody
can
give
up
their
car.
You
need
a
car
sometimes,
but
if
everybody
just
considered
different
points,
when
they
take
a
trip,
do
I
really
need
to
drive
to
7-eleven.
Do
I
really
need
to
drive
to
the
grocery
store?
Could
I
walk?
Could
I
take
a
bike
trip
or
if
I'm
going
to
work
there
might
be
a
bus?
D
B
Was
walking
everywhere,
I
was
riding
my
bike
for
daily
transportation.
I
lost
my
love,
handles
I,
had
a
firm
butt
and
thighs
I
was
sleeping,
better
I
had
lower
stress
at
a
more
positive
attitude.
My
cholesterol
went
down
30
points.
It
was
just
a
win-win
all
the
way
around
and
I
highly
recommend
anybody
who
even
thinks
they
might
possibly
be
able
to
get
by
without
a
car
really
look
into.
C
It
and
instead
of
having
to
drive
from
one
place
to
another,
like
you
go
drive
to
do
a
book
store.
You
know,
then
you
take
a
car
to
go
to
a
supermarket.
Then
you
take
your
car
to.
You
know,
go
to
the
drugstore.
Why,
instead
of
maybe,
if
we
do
the
concept
of
the
urban
village,
all
of
that
can
be
within
walking
distance.
That
way,
you
just
leave
your
car
one
time.
You
know
if
you
have
to
drive
you
Parker
than
you
walk
around
for
the
rest
of
the
stuff.
D
D
Are
showing
us
that
this
is
working
over
the
last
10
years?
Traffic
has
not
increased
on
Arlington's
arterial
roads
and
that's
because
more
people
are
biking,
walking
and
taking
public
transportation
and
that
allows
Arlington
to
grow
and
prosper
without
the
effects
that
you
see
in
other
places
like
tysons
corner
or
the
outer
suburbs,
where
increased
development
is
often
met
with
opposition
because
it
means
increased
traffic
and
it's
hard
on
the
infrastructure
of
the
locals.
D
I
think
the
reason
transportation
is
a
success
in
Arlington
compared
to
some
other
places
is
one
because
we've
done
a
great
job
of
planning.
We've
put
all
of
the
density
and
the
development
in
the
transit
corridors
to
we've
got
great
infrastructure.
We've
got
a
great
metro,
rail
and
bus
system,
and
we
do
have
those
bike
and
walk
trails
and
three
and
part
that's
often
forgotten.
We
have
great
support
services
that
provide
information
to
people
so
that
they
can
easily
choose
these
options.
D
We
have
commuter
stores,
we
have
our
LinkedIn
transportation
partners
that
goes
out
and
helps
employers
and
helps
property
managers.
We
have
a
great
marketing
program.
We
have
websites,
we
have
car
free
diet,
com.
We
have
commuter
page
calm,
and
so
we
try
to
make
it
easy
for
people
to
choose
these
options.
This.
B
County
is
so
far
ahead
of
the
rest
of
the
country
and
making
it
really
easy
for
people
not
only
to
get
around
without
a
car,
but
also
to
get
information
on
how
to
get
around
without
a
car.
All
the
information
you
need
is
at
car,
free
diet,
calm
or
you
can
stop
by
one
of
our
LinkedIn's
commuter
stores.
These
places
are
just
a
wealth
of
information
if
you
have
no
idea
where
to
begin
and
cutting
your
car
use
start
here.
This.
C
Is
exciting?
We're
really
glad
that
we're
taking
place
you're,
not
eating
County
and
we're
looking
forward
to
promote
of
the
rest
of
the
year.
So
we
want
to
encourage
you
to
go
to
a
car,
free
diet,
calm
and
use
the
country
calculator.
You
figure
out
not
only
how
much
money
you'll
say,
but
the
calories
you'll
be
burning
and
co2
emissions
you'll
reduce
it.
