Best Green Transportation Advocacy: Livable Streets Initiative

Many people are doing a good job at promoting bicycles, walkable neighborhoods, better urban planning, more effective mass transit, etc. But there's one that stands out to us: The Livable Streets Initiative (which includes StreetsBlog, StreetFilms, StreetsWiki, etc). In their own words: "The Livable Streets Initiative is an online community for people working to create sustainable cities through sensible urban planning, design, and transportation policy. We provide free, open source, web-based resources to citizens working to create a greener economy, address climate change, reduce oil dependence, alleviate traffic congestion, and provide better access to good jobs in healthy communities." By spreading information about what works, they are multiplying the impact of innovators and inspiring many others. Kudos!
