Michelle reported that Holly Bogle, manager of Harvard’s Commuter Choice programme is giving an informal session about her work at the ARC, Wed 12 March. Extended an invitation for a person from WA to attend.
Robin to report back
Michelle reported that the transport point of the ARC’s 10-point plan of the Big Clean Up, being, "Reduce your car trips by two a week", is coming up for PR soonish. Suggested WA could take a piggyback action on back of that publicity. Some discussion around fact that we’re still currently tiny, and any action would need reasonable organisation and probably more than 2 people! One suggestion was banners on pedestrian overbridge over motorway, preferably at rush hour, with sign "We’re moving faster than you are". Unresolved whether we would follow this up or not.
