[sustran] "Best Practices": Source listings for information and comment

[Eric Britton]

Dear Colleagues,
 
In support of our work on the Kyoto World Cities Challenge Initiative
– see http://newmobility.org for the latest on that -- we have
prepared the following list of "Best Practices" web sites covering
initiatives in the area of sustainable mobility and city
transportation improvements more generally.
 
While I am sure that it is still quite incomplete, I do  hope that
this will be of use for you, and should you have additions or
corrections, this would be most appreciated.
 
Why is this important? Because when it comes times for city teams to
consider if indeed they are going to be able to make the kind of very
ambitious advances the Kyoto Cities Challenge is asking for, they are
going to need all the help they can get.  You can see how we are
handling this on the site.

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