[sustran] BRT uptake and political will

[Gabrielle Hermann]

Hi,

I am writing a paper arguing that political will is the biggest barrier 
affecting the uptake of BRT technology.  I use Quito, Lima, Santiago, and 
Porto Alegre as case studies.  Does anyone have any advice or stories about 
how to increase the political will of local politicians to do BRT projects?  
Stories about these cities in particular would be especially appreciated... 

Thanks,

Gabrielle
