Every single public servant should get a free transit pass for the city they work in or live in.
Public service buildings should have parking for visitors and mobility requirements only.

Public transit should be free for everybody.
I agree. My point is making cars, generally, not allowed for public servants.
It's a good pilot project to ensure transit is functional in an area, and public servants have a relatively stronger influence to improve things that will improve transit directly or indirectly.
By having public servants on public transit, you can almost force and alignment of their personal commute requirements, and the health of a city's transit.
This is the right idea. Cycling excludes the disabled and elderly, and doesn't improve things for families either. Putting the public servants on public transport would incentivise them to make it better, and that would make access better for everyone.
I'd give the buildings some parking for night workers, if they're not able to use the visitor or disabled parking, just because lots of public transport doesn't run overnight, and it wouldn't make sense for it to run.
Include public transport as well, this sounds like a good idea.
Maybe not just to their own workplace but also the occasional commute of a randomly chosen resident of their city.
This is a natural extension of "All congressmen should be put on Medicaid and banned from carrying supplementary insurance."
I'm all for it. If they say it's good enough for us, it should be good enough for them.
Toronto's new city mayor rides a bike to work, very refreshing.
I'm all for it. I'd like them to lead by example. If this was actually enforced I bet my bottom dollar that public transport/mirco-mobility issues would be completely solved in 15 years max.
My Alderman rides his bike down to city hall pretty regularly, I think him and a few of the other aldermen meet up occasionally to all bike to work. It's pretty great. The city is still way to car-centric though.

Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
