Hello All,
I am conducting a literature search on past and present efforts in regards to transportation. We have not narrowed down on our particular behaviour but are look at potential behaviours: anti-idling, public transit or carpooling. There are several cases here and on toolsofchange.com. Any additional information would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Cathy.
You might like to take a look at the Australian Travelsmart program, which uses CBSM principles to get people to change their mode of travel from cars to public transport, cycling or walking. There is an evaluation report (which also goes into the methods they use) at http://www.travelsmart.gov.au/publications/evaluation-2005.html.
The most heartening thing about the report is the evidence that the methods used actually worked - two of the programs were in Western Australia (South Perth and Cambridge, if you're curious) and included evaluation of participants 2 years and 28 months after the programs finished. In both cases the behavour changes that the participants had made during the programs had stuck. Hurrah!
There is also a list of articles and resources related to Travelsmart at http://www.travelsmart.vic.gov.au/Web4%5Ctsmart.nsf/Web+Pages/171771BA4EA8237ECA256D570083B3E4?OpenDocument&CollapseView
Good luck!
