Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This is to invite you to follow and perhaps if you chose participate
actively in
an international  workshop that is to be held here in Paris next week, on
June
8th, on the topic of sustainable transportation.  The workshop has been
called
by the Shell Foundation who are bringing together a group of about thirty
experts from various places around the world to ask their counsel and
guidance
on some sustainable transportation projects and programs that they are
eventually interested in funding in this important area of society and
technology.

Now, it occurred to us that a certain number of you might like not only to
know
about this but also possibly to make your voice heard.  With this in mind -
and
in the knowledge that our broad community of international colleagues with
some
much valuable experience and such diverse backgrounds and views of this
topics
have much to say that can help the organizers - we have tried to figure out
a
way in which we might be able to convey these views and suggestions to the
organizers.

To this end, we have just set up a little "virtual conference" support
section
in the @New Mobility site which you can now reach via
http://ecoplan.org/access
If you go to the menu and punch June 8th Conference toward the bottom it
should
pretty much explain itself.  And of course if you have other, possibly
better
ideas for us on any of this, please let us hear from you.

I am convinced that this is a great opportunity for the organizers and look
forward with real interest to seeing how this works itself out.


Eric Britton
