Common Energy's Transportation Working Group, in collaboration with BCSEA, Island Transformations, the Island Transit Alliance Society, and the Victoria Chapter of the Sierra Club, is presenting a series of free public lectures on transportation.

Three expert speakers will present new ideas on how we can increase access to our daily destinations, and benefit the environment, our health, and our pocketbooks. The lecture series, “Roads, Rails, and Trails,” is timed to highlight Bike to Work Week and Environment Week. It is sponsored by a coalition of groups wanting to design a sustainable and accessible transport system.
