What you can do to advance the initiative

Does this approach make any sense to you? Any chance of your at least considering a 20/20 project or something along those lines for your city? Might you want to talk about possibly getting involved in the broader program behind all this? Have some ideas about resources that can be brought to bear?

Next steps you can now take

Well, you have at least scanned these materials, and you may be thinking about what, if anything, to do with them. With your permission, we'd like to suggest a few things that might be of help:

  • Associate your group, program with this cause: Let the world know that you think these issues of transport in cities require high visibility and piority attention. Click here to add you name and link to our listing..

  • Comment on draft materials & program: Intensive group discussions and exchanges are going to be a big help in firming up this program, and in setting the stage for the specific pioneering city projects that now need to follow. You will find here some good ways of doing this here.

  • Pass on the message: Please pass on this letter and related materials to your colleagues, contacts and discussion groups working in these areas. We are going to need to get the news out to many thousands of our colleagues and connections world wide if this is to gain the necessary momentum and support.

  • Identify cities, allies: You may already have some ideas about next steps, cities, projects, allies -- and we very much hope that you will share these with the groups, since any specific initiatives that you might take will serve to encourage others to get actively involved on their side.

  • Get the media involved: And let the print and electronic media know as well about what we are trying to do and where to come for more. High international visibility is part of the toolkit we need to put in place to make this work.
