Promote alternative transportation at the local level -some ideas

I attended the AltWheels festival in Brookline, Massachusetts on Saturday.  With climate change and environmental issues getting a lot of attention on dKos recently, I thought I'd report on a workshop I attended featuring activists and public officials talking about municipal and state-level efforts.  I'm a perpetual note-taker, so I'm going to reproduce them below in the hope that they will give you ideas on steps to take in your local community.  Forgive the lack of eloquence in this diary.
