Dear Sustran Friends:

 

We invite you to visit, use and support World Streets
<http://www.worldstreets.org/>  and the programs of the New Mobility Agenda
<http://newmobility.org/>  over all of 2009.  To make your small but
important supporting contribution in about two minutes please click here

instructions or help click

here). 


Your initiative will be helpful in several ways.

 

*	By making a contribution - large or small - you are sending us a
strong signal that what we are doing has value.

*	Your contributions will help us fund the diversity of our existing
<http://www.program.newmobility.org/>  programs at the quality level and
frequency you are used to.

*	Despite the many volunteers working with us, our programs are still
costly to run and require an annual budget of approximately EUR 100,000. An
active contributor base helps us equally to turn to the foundations,
agencies, and individuals who can make more sizable contributions to help us
make up a significant budget shortfall.

 

Coming from Sustran this is a partially important signal I think. It shows
to whoever cares to consider it, that our long term free partnership and
collaboration has meaning for you. Enough for you to take the time to make a
contrition. For us it is a very big dollar indeed.

 

Some of you have asked how much to give. My short answer is to each
according to their means and commitment to our shared concerns. Or I could
suggest using a rough Streets equivalent that might ring a bell with you:

 

*	The price of a bus ticket

*	Of a rental bike

*	Or that tank of gasoline you save just by thinking about it . . .

 

What is most important at this point is for you to sign on to register your
concrete expression of interest and concern.

Fees: Several friends have asked why we do not simply charge for the
information and services our various New Mobility programs render. My answer
to that is simple. Since we started these collaborative networking projects,
starting in 1988, we decided that everything that comes out of this
collaborative work should be entirely free. We wish to remain faithful to
this principle.

Advertising: Others have made the good suggestion that we should develop
additional revenues in support of the sites by bringing in advertising. In a
world of ubiquitous advertising, we wish to keep these programs not just
free, but free from commercial messages. With your help and support, and
that of like-minded individuals, we will remain faithful to these principles
and continue to offer quality programs that will help ensure the
sustainability of our cities and lives.

Thank you in advance for that contribution and support - we couldn't do this
without you!
