That’s what the Give a Minute campaign is asking Chicagoans. Citizens are encouraged to participate by texting their ideas to 312.380.0436 or posting them on the website www.giveaminute.info.
Active Trans is honored that our leader, Ron Burke, is featured in the campaign along with CTA Chairman Terry Peterson and SRAM President and CEO, Stan Day.
Look for the ads on CTA buses and trains and send in your ideas and thoughts about what would get you to walk, bike or jump on the CTA.
Here's a great video about the campaign:

OK, I had to mull over it.
Thinking back to my last time in a car, which was in Springfield last week, what would have encouraged me to not be in that car would have been if the organizers had made an effort to choose event locations that were accessible from the main site on foot. The majority of my car trips over the past few years have been for similar reasons. I managed to get my registration refunded on a 2-day workshop a few months ago (one that I very badly wanted to attend) because they changed the location from one accessible by Metra to one that was a giant PITA to get to about two weeks before the date.
So how does one encourage the greater public, who has its collective heiny semi-permanently velcroed to a car seat, to consider accessiblity by 'clean' travel when choosing locations?
less snow?
I'm guessing those venues that weren't convenient by means other than car were considerably cheaper than the downtown locations. Not sure of a solution to your problem, seems to largely be market forces at work.
