Dear all,

I have recently taken charge of a behaviour change initiative that is part of a broader program to reduce Perth's diesel vehicle emissions. We are currently working with a national courier company's local branch here in WA and are about to trial a pilot scheme that will focus on drivers' (unnecessary) idling behaviour. Our trial starts on Monday and will run for 12 weeks, involving almost 50 volunteered drivers.

Apart from informing people who may be in similar fields about the project, there are a couple reasons for posting this note:

1) I would be interested in anyone's comments or requests for more information where similar projects are being run or tried.

2) I am looking for someone to join me run this BCI and hopefully to implement this with many other businesses and industries across the state and nationwide. Does anyone know someone who may be looking to get involved in this type of work here in Perth, Western Australia (we have had overseas students work part-time on the program) I look forward to any comments or contributions.

Regards,
Gareth MacRae
