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 strongsupportby you • A strategic campaign starts today • Time to invest is now! Are you ready to begin the journey?
