You can still help! Our fundraising objective was to supply the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy (ITDP) with money to help the people of Tanzania access sustainable transportation options. Make an online contribution to continue ITDP's important work!
Contributors will receive Sustainable Transport, ITDP's annual magazine; Transport Actions, ITDP's biennial newsletter; and the satisfaction that you are sustaining the only organization dedicated solely to creating and implementing sustainable transportation policies and projects worldwide.
A big THANK
YOU!!! Our
New Zealand expedition was generously funded by the Yosemite
National Institutes and the Matthew
Baxter Memorial Fund.

In the Fall of 2001, the Amstutz Family
traveled
"down under" on an adventurous family fundraising expedition!
With their two daughters bumping along in a bike trailer, the
Amstutz's cycled
the full length of New Zealand from north to south (over 2,300
kilometers!). The primary goal of this project was to educate and raise awareness about non-polluting transportation solutions around the world. To give more depth to their trip, and to illustrate this educational goal, the Amstutz's raised almost $5,000 in donations to support village bicycle transportation programs in Tanzania. These projects are being implemented by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), which has worked in developing countries since 1985 to promote sustainable transportation and affordable access to markets, jobs, schools and health care . |
