Dear Car Free Day webmaster

please note that ETA National Car Free Day in Britain will be on 8
June 1999 (as part of ETA Green Transport Week 5 - 13 June)
please post that to your website, with a link to our site at
www.eta.co.uk
copy any info you want from our website, which will shortly be
updated
ETA National Car Free Day Tuesday 8 June
We are hoping to make our biggest impact yet in 1999, to
demonstrate to the government that there is great support for the
DPM's White Paper and his statement that "doing nothing is not an
option".
We'd like to see as many organisations and individuals as possible
come together for next year's Green Transport Week and National
Car Free Day, working with local authorities, business and
voluntary groups, transport operators and user groups, walking and
cycling campaigners, hospitals, schools, universities and
colleges, churches, women's institute, you name it!  to convince
this government that radical changes to transport policy are not
only necessary to cut excessive car use - they would be positively
welcomed by most voters.  75% of drivers in our 1998 Car Free Day
survey said that they would welcome the banning of cars from the
city centre.
Next year's campaigns must reflect this widespread understanding
of the issues and support for change -   ETA Green Transport Week
and ETA National Car Free Day offer ideal platforms for promoting
and debating the issues.

All events planned for GTW and CFD 99 should be notified to the
campaigns co-ordinator Richard Evans  by e-mail to

Many thanks
