1 June 2007: Note to the visitor:
This project of the New Mobility Agenda is for the time being on hold. You are invited to visit it and you will find there a rich collection of references, ideas, contacts, and materials. But due to events, our main efforts have for now been transferred to the New Mobility Climate Emergency Project that you will see just below. You will note many communalities between the two projects. Among the advantages of the Climate Emergency project is that it builds on ideas and considerable momentum and outreach of the Clinton/Large Cities Climate programs.

 It's only an emergency. Right? So what do we do when faced with an emergency. Well we first shiver for a while at the bad news, then read a bit, think about it a bit, maybe talk about it some. And then slip back to business as usual. Right? If that's your position, don't let us get in the way of your personal comfort. Go away! Concerned? Ready to act? That's great - Welcome! We need you.
President Clinton issued his CO2 challenge and program on 1 August 2006. He told us: " We have to reduce about 80% of our greenhouse gas emissions over the next 10 to 15 years." The Clinton Climate Initiative focuses on cities, the largest source of pollution, and within that our particular interest and expertise is of course in the way that people get around in those cities. And here is our radical CO2 reduction proposal and New Mobility action plan for transport in cities in response to his call.  To check out the New Mobility Climate Emergency Project click here .This international collaborative project set out in February 2005 to investgate a single question: "What can you do in your city to reduce traffic and its negative impacts dramatically (say on the order of 20%) in a very short period (we propose 20 months), and within your existing transportation budget."
