Transportation Issues Committee Volunteer Project Ideas

Here are some ideas generated by Transportation Issues Committee (TIC) members in a planning session in July of 2009: TIC Plan. Higher priority items appear at the top of each list. See if there's a project you're interested in and come to a meeting to learn how you can help. TIC meetings take place on the first Monday of each month at 5:30 at the Ecology Action Centre.
