Nudged by the interesting comments on the matter of school transport of
late, we have decided to go back into an important but long dormant
program here - Children on the Move! - to see if we might be able to
breath some useful life into it. The original thesis and organization
was I think quite strong, but the press of time and resources took our
attention in other directions. I would like to invite those of you who
have an interest in this general area to have a look at the in-process
rebuilding of the site at http://ecoplan.org/children - and if you have
any comments or suggestions this would be a great time to have them.



The three main areas that we are trying to advance under this
cooperative brainstorming and communications program include different
forms of information and support of the many fine (a) Walk/Travel to
School and related programs, but also (b) Play Streets and something we
call the (c) School Program, an approach to involving children actively
in the process of mobility changes and choices that we all should be at
least thinking about and, when we can, actually doing.



It's all very chaotic for now, as you will see when you go to the site,
but I do think it's an important cause and there is room for some useful
contributions there.
