@Access – The Sustainable Transportation Forum at
http://www.ecoplan.org/access <http://www.ecoplan.org/access> - Update
1. Linking Transportation Investments to Land Values: At a slight
delay you will find on the @Access site now the promised summary and full
interim report on the Group Project investigating the topic of data
availability on the links between transportation investments or projects and
changes in real estate or land values in the targeted area (or others). For
the in-process Summary for review and comment, you are invited to click the
Joint @Project link toward the top of the menu, perhaps first clicking the
small red icon (ball) just before it for a quick explanation of how all that
works.
2. Use/Share: We hope not only that you will find this of some use,
but also that you will, if you have additional information or suggestions
for us, chose to share them with the group. That might be done either by
commenting to this mail list, or directly to the @Access group via the ail
function there.
3. Future Joint Projects: The present project will be held on the site
through September while we gather additional comment sand feedbacks, but as
of 1 October that slot is going to come open for the next such collaborative
group investigation and discussion. Perhaps you have some ideas for a topic
for the October program. If so, and if too you have some thoughts about who
and how this might be moderated, please let us all know. This is a powerful
tool, taking some of the good communications and exchange capabilities that
we have on this list a useful step further.
4. @Access Media Program: Somewhat lower down on the left menu, you
will see a link with this title. For the most part these pages offer
information on some of the books, children’s books, and other media which
have been generated by the Access program over its first ten years. Most of
what we do is either free or low cost. Have a look, and if you have any
ideas for other materials that we might usefully add to this part of the
site, we will be pleased to hear from you.
5. Voice Conferencing: It actually works. Click the icon and give it
a try. Better yet, if you have a topic and are ready to moderate a group
meeting (preferably a very small one until you get the hang of how all this
pieces together), come onto the site and put these tools to work.
6. 21st Turtle: Sound unpromising? I dunno. What not go to
http://www.ecoplan.org/21t <http://www.ecoplan.org/21t> and decide for
yourself. Of course if you feel that we are doing just fine on the
sustainability agenda, no sense in your wasting your time with this.

P.S. In a couple of instances, and in my cosmic poor organization (not
helped much by a computer that decided to implode mid-stream), I seem to
have mislaid several email letters that came in for the Land Values report
and/or the current address information for the kind person who submitted it.
If you spot any of these oversights, it would be kind if you would think to
let me know so that I can make the needed corrections.
