Local Motion Episode Six : The Starting Gate Video Info

Full Title: “Local Motion 2009 Episode Six: The Starting Gate”

Description:
Local Motion 2009 (Ep. 6): “The Starting Gate”
Released June 8, 2009

Local Motion challengers make their pledges and pick up their toolkits. City teams help in every way they can, but it’s up to Parkallen residents to change traffic patterns in their community this June.

About Local Motion – An Eco-mobility Challenge

The challenge: how many people from one Edmonton community can leave their personal automobiles at home and get eco-mobile for the month of June? Project teams in the host community and at the City of Edmonton are providing as much help as they can. “Local Motion 2009” video project documents and shares this global first.

About Eco-mobility
The Global Alliance for EcoMobility is one of the partners in Local Motion 2009. For this project, eco-mobility modes are broken down into four categories: cycling (ie. bicycles, tricycles); walking/wheeling (ie. skateboards, wheelchairs, rollerblades); public transit (bus, LRT, DATS); ride-sharing (car-pooling, trip-planning).

Locations: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
