Your suggestions about how to improve non-car commuting options are bearing fruit. See these Post-Standard articles:

-- "Centro pumps up bus service"
(including more express buses to/from SU and University Hospital)
--"Who needs a car?"
(about SMTC efforts to promote bicycle use on University Hill)


2007 Results
Overall results
And the winners are:
630 people took the survey
576 people took the Challenge and left their cars at home for at least one day during the month
An estimated 4-5 tons of CO2 was saved by those 576 people leaving the car home for one day. If they did it for a whole month, that would be nearly 100 tons of CO2 saved!
83 people left their cars home for the first time ever -- and nearly all said they would try it again
We collected many good suggestions for improving transportation options on University Hill.
