Dear Colleagues,

 

In support of an ambitious new program about to get underway in Toronto
is conjuction with their 2004 New Mobility Week, we have hastily cobbled
together a reference list of "Best Practices" web sites covering
initiatives in the area of sustainable mobility and city transportation
improvements more generally.  

 

I attach a copy of this for your information.  And should you have
additions or corrections, this would be most appreciated.


When the listing has been completed it will be posted here for all to
consult and use. As always.

 

Kind thanks

 

Eric Britton
