Even city trucks can
be Pace Cars
 

 
The integration of the Pace Car into the Traffic Tamers school program has opened up a whole new possibility for signing up large numbers of Pace Car drivers quickly.

Tell me more.

Pace Car drivers pledge to drive within the speed limit, stop to let pedestrians cross, walk when they can, and do something to their car to make others smile. They turn their car into a 'mobile speed bump'. (One that gets out of the way of emergency vehicles!). When enough people join, traffic is effectively calmed city-wide. Pace Cars calm drivers rather than streets.

The Pace Car is now operative in many cities. To date it has not flourished in any (that we are aware of) because these program have lacked creative mechanisms for enlisting Pace Car drivers. A good product is useless unless you have good a 'product distribution network'.

Creative Communities wishes to work with cities in developing these creative distribution networks. One method we are currently experimenting with is Traffic Tamers, a school based program in which kids sign up adults to be 'Tamed-n-Trained.
