SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL:
A Social Justice and Environmental Sustainability gathering

Sustainable Tompkins invites you to our monthly community gathering 
on Thursday, April 10, 6:00-8:00 PM, at the Human Services Building, 
on 320 West State Street, in Downtown Ithaca.  

Meal and Childcare are provided. Soul Food Catering by Tucker's 
includes vegetarian option. Additional potluck offerings are invited 
& participants are encouraged to bring their own table settings to 
minimize the clean up

Are you a resident who
	Can't afford or chooses not to own a car?
	Experiences many limitations, inconveniences or feels a lack 
of safety getting from place to place
	Is a car owner concerned about rising gas prices, and the 
negative impacts of traffic congestion, sprawl, and global warming?
	Wishes your town could implement its bike plan

Regardless of your transportation needs now, or in the future, this 
event will help you:

	Share your transportation challenges and strategies with 
other residents as well as service providers and public officials
	Learn about new services like Rideshare, Carshare, Ridewise, 
and Vanpooling, that can substantially increase your access and 
choices, and reduce costs
	Get help from a team of service providers in developing your 
own personal transportation plan
	Learn about exciting ideas for a more just and sustainable 
transportation future in our area and contribute your own
	Get together with others who want to reenergize and implement 
the city's bike plan
	Get together with others focused on transportation equity in 
our schools.
