You are invited to an “interstates” Green Party
Webinar…
Brainstorming a Green
Transportation Platform for Everybody!
Wednesday January 14th
6:00 PM ET, 5:00 PM CT,
4:00 PM MT, 3:00 PM PT
During this webinar, we
will be brainstorming a green or “greenish” transportation platform
for everybody. We welcome a great debate between those who advocate
modern transit and those who are critical of newer transit? Should we
build through participatory democracy and comprehensive planning to
improve and expand on existing services workers use to be mobile?
Webinar participants should bring their ideas to the discussion.
Nothing will be settled here—just many brains storming about how we
want to build our communities and how we want to move around.
