See the Livable Streets Film Festival! (link here)
Were you among the 150 people who came to our Livable Streets Film Festival? If yes, then you saw 21+ short films in 2.25 hours. Did you win a door prize? Eat popcorn? Leave with a warm glow?
Even if you missed the festival, you can still see what the buzz was all about. I uploaded many festival videos, including links to StreetFilms, GoMaineNation and GoGet Carshare. But, the rescreening rights to FilmedByBike films I bought were for a single public use. So, you can obtain their DvDs at FilmedByBike.org . Dim the lights & enjoy the show!

Gas Prices
Gas pump in CA, 2008
You can follow US and NYS gas prices on a weekly basis from the Energy Information Agency at EIA.gov. I use it as a barometer of consumer emotional receptivity for mobility alternatives. When gasoline was over $4.30 a gallon in 2008 in Upstate NY, many people urgently looked for affordable ways to go to work and cut back on discretionary driving. In 2011-12, we are in a period of volatile gas prices. Promoting mobility alternatives to driving alone, can help people regain control of their mobility costs. Let's act on it!
The overlapping charts below show the U.S. retail price of gasoline that is published weekly by the EIA (Energy Information Agency). Each graph shows two and one half years of weekly prices. The first graph starts in March 2005.
