Notes from Transition Town Meeting September 2009

During a meeting, we discussed alternative more green ways of travelling. Here are the ideas we came up with, in note format:

- join a Car Club
- lobby government to increase spending on alternative transport and technology
- car free days/month
- Car Pool
- Car Share
- Lift Share via website www.liftshare.com
- Encouraging firms to provide mini buses and cycle stores
- Limit flying, raising awareness about the impact of flying
- providing alternatives to flying, such as raising awareness about alternative technology, overland travel and so on
- using Carbon Calculators
- Critical Mass - cycling
- Pedestrianisation in Leamington
- 20m/h limit
- more cycle paths to encourage people to use bikes
- close the Parade more often and involve shops
- Electric cars and bikes
- Solar Powered Scooters
- life share to Gaia, supermarkets or other shops, as well as churches and schools; this could be done via getting to know the people in your street
- asking companies like NHS or Jaguar to encourage their staff to lift share
