As a number of you know, we have opened up an 'international peer support'
panel to gather views on and support of the Mayor of London's Congestion
Charging program, to support our nomination of the mayor for the World
Technology Network's 2004 Environment Prize.  You will find full information
on this on the New Mobility Agenda site at http://newmobility.org.
 
A quick reminder of what the WTN prize seeks to commend: "The World
Technology Awards have been created to honour those  individual leaders or,
at times, co-equal teams from across the globe  who most contribute to the
advance of emerging technologies of all  sorts  for the benefit of business
and society. We especially seek to honour  those innovators who have done
work recently which has the greatest  likely future significance and impact
over the long-term. The WTN awards are about those individuals whose work
today will, in our opinion, create the greatest "ripple effects" in the
future... in both expected and unexpected ways."
 
Our support for this nomination is a function of our firm conviction that
massive innovation in many areas is critical if we are ever to break the
Sustainable Mobility gridlock.  And this, like carsharing, clearing all the
cars off the streets for one day and a certain number of other less familiar
approaches, is one that in my view should be getting a lot more attention.
 
I invite you to have a look at the issues and views, and make your voice
heard.  Again, the poll closes on this on 15 June, at which time we submit
our collective recommendations and observations to the other members of the
WTN jury, of which I have the honor to be one.

Make your voice heard!
