Transportation Working Group
Public
This is the Twine for the Pikes Peak Area Transportation Working Group. The purpose of this Twine is to collect documents, information, input, and comments that will help to move the Pikes Peak Region toward sustainable transportation. We will align ourselves with the theme: thinking globally, acting locally. Ideas concerning walking, bicycling, mass transit, car sharing, mobility, alternative fuels (hybrids, electric cars, biofuels, etc) are relevant to the discussion here.
