One Less Car Orlando, A Celebration of Transportation Alternatives, is Saturday, September 25, 2010, 10am-4pm at the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Community Center (946 N. Mills Ave, Orlando, FL). We are proud to be the Media Sponsor for this fantastic event. About: The goal is to encourage people to park their cars a little more and explore the benefits of alternative transportation -- environmental, mental and physical, and community engagement. Have you complained about Lynx, but never been on it? Do you think SunRail will be too expensive for you to ride? Why is that bicyclists are using the whole road these days? Would you like to carpool, but don't know anyone else who carpools? These questions and more will be answered at One Less Car Orlando.
In addition to an expo on the main floor of The Center, we're having a speaker series we're calling Park-N-Chats:
