As I work with some friends and customers near the downtown mall I watch as our police parking buddies in their Parking Enforcement Chariots isue tickets and have cars towed I wonder how much easier it would be for folks if they walked/jogged, road bike or took the bus downtown.

There is a National Event created by Road Runers Club of America and can be found at   http://www.rrca.org/programs/runatwork/

Here is some more detailed information on participating in the event. http://www.rrca.org/programs/runatwork/rawplanning.doc

I have seen David Brown on bike in town as well as former Mayor M Cox.    How will the city promote healthy activities?   With minimal money spent?

I walk about 3/4 of a mile to a bus stop several days a week and on occasion I walk all the way in or home ( usually home though- sweaty)

Will the buses in city and UVA ever improve service (options and times) to make it useful like in other real public transport-heavy  cities?
