    Why subscribe and support this project?

    • First and most immediately, because it puts into your hands a cost-effective, potentially very high impact working toolkit and support process to help you prepare for an important (and in general at best only shakily identified) new mobility option for your city at a time of great need.

    • Second, because through your subscription, your financial support will help us to fund the important work behind this project and the other projects underway in the "Reinventing Transport in Cities" program behind it.

    • Third, our goal is to get this report into the hands of as many decision makers and sources of counsel as possible. Including in poorer cities and countries in the developing world. To this end, we have arranged that each city or agency in the advanced economies who signs on to the program, will be invited to nominate a city or public interest group in the developing world for whom we can make available a copy of the Briefs at no cost and as a gift from you. Should you have no city or agency immediately in mind, please contact us since we have a list of those who have indicated their interest in receiving sponsored copies or subscriptions under this North/South exchange program.

    • And finally as a public vote of confidence in the importance of these challenges and your belief that we need to start to deal with them in practical terms as best we can. And right now!

    Other ways to gain access to and work with this program


    Beyond this, and as part of our long held public service obligations, the project has been organized to provide extensive working materials, references and planning and implementation guidelines and aids in the web site which is free to all comers. For unfunded public interest groups, students, researchers, academic and public interest teams, we believe that the materials and references painstakingly assembled in this website can go a long way in their self-education efforts. This last is part of our commitment to simulating and supporting development of these low-carbon, high-amenity, new mobility systems in as many cities as possible in the years directly ahead.

    Program sponsorship:
    As you will see as you check through this website this is an ambitious and we think important public interest project, and though it is open to individual and corporate subscribers, there is at the same time an important role to be played by persons and group who wish to contribute to the costs of this ongoing program.

  • We invite groups, agencies and individual doors considering possibly supporting this program to click here for further details.
