A city council is debating two policy changes to improve public health and reduce traffic congestion. Policy 1 focuses on promoting cycling, while Policy 2 addresses public transit improvements. For each policy, select the most effective action to achieve both goals simultaneously.

A Policy 1: Build more dedicated bike lanes. Policy 2: Increase the frequency of existing bus routes.
B Policy 1: Subsidize bicycle purchases for low-income residents. Policy 2: Introduce a new light rail system.
C Policy 1: Launch a public awareness campaign about cycling benefits. Policy 2: Reduce fares on all public transit options.
D Policy 1: Implement a bike-sharing program with docking stations near transit hubs. Policy 2: Expand bus rapid transit (BRT) networks.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

A bike-sharing program near transit hubs encourages multimodal transport, linking cycling and public transit to reduce car use. Expanding BRT networks provides faster, more reliable public transit, drawing more commuters away from private vehicles, benefiting both goals.
