Come have a look at http://www.ecoplan.org/carfreeday/ and perhaps even share your information, views and thoughts with our small but informed and fast growing group.
And if you think that the idea of a Car Free Day is nothing other than more neo-yuppie hype, think again. A car free day, got right, can be a terrific planning and learning tool.

Will do. Which reminds me of another question. Common practice seems
to be for drivers to be guaranteed eight hours work per day, with an
overtime premium paid on anything over eight hours. While I was in the
UK, the group I worked for changed this to a weekly (or perhaps even
monthly) guarantee, so that a long duty (run) one day could balance
with a short one the next. (Subject to minimum and maximum daily duty
lengths.) This saved a _lot_ of money, particularly at garages with
heavily peaked schedules. I don't know how widely this applies in the
UK today.
Anyone familiar with systems of this sort elsewhere?
