Working Together
• UCSC could support RTC research needs,
• Collaboratively we can improve multi-modal connections to UCSC
• Elected officials need to hear from you
Call for Action…..
• Cheap oil is history• Climate Change is real• Slowing it down means investing in options• Those options help make walkable
communities = more $ to spend locally• Waiting for (state or federal) help?
• Local funding / control is key• Incremental approach is better than no action• Success will depend on strong support by you
• A strategic campaign starts today• Time to invest is now!
Are you ready to begin the journey?
