>but the answers are both very personal, and even then, not so clear cut

Indeed. Even 2 truly altruistic individuals may answer the questions differently simply because one comes from an individualistic society, and one a collectivist one. One may genuinely believe cheap, private self driving cars is a future to strive for while the other believes in efficient and fast public transportation. both can accomplish a good future with the right intentions. And maybe both to some extent does work in tandem. But we know land and budget for roads vs rails is somewhat competitive.

We definitely lack the energy and authority to tackle all issues, so I simply want to try picking one direction and putting effort into that first. All my energy has been spent job searching until very recently, but once I financially stabilize I wanted to find some local coalitions and see what I can do to chip in. I figure such groups would be a good place to start, people who are already walking the walk.
