It's been said "the turtle wins the race." But the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is hoping it will also improve street safety, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower the cost of local travel in the South Bay. City by city, the SBCCOG is rolling out the network that will support the growing market and safe use of lightweight, zero-emission, low-speed vehicles for local trips (think neighborhood electric vehicles, e-bikes, pedal bikes, scooters, etc.) as they share the road with cars on existing low-speed streets. The planned 243-mile network will eventually connect the entire South Bay. Watch this new video to learn more.
