			It's a Celebration
				Two great days for viewing, experiencing and discussing some of the most innovative means of transportation in the world today; Friday and Saturday on Boston's City Hall Plaza. Meet the inventors and experience futuristic concept vehicles. See what our transportation options will be over the next decade — from fuel cell vehicles to taxi rickshaws to Segway scooters to human-powered transport. A wide variety of refreshments will be available on-site so plan to make a day (or three) of it.
			It's For Everyone
				No matter what your interest or age, AltWheels has something for you. Exhibits will include working electric, solar, flex-fuel, and hybrid vehicles, as well as the latest in human-powered transportation. Come build and race a model solar car or hear about how to convert your car to run on vegetable oil. Enjoy jugglers, unicyclists, clowns, face painting, and much more fun for families
			It's Interactive
				Sit behind the wheel and test drive a gas/electric hybrid automobile. Talk with mechanics and engineers as they convert a gasoline-powered automobile into an alternative fuel vehicle.
			It's Informative
				AltWheels is designed to inform participants about the latest transportation technologies and the vast array of options that exist today. Alternatives to the gasoline-powered automobile have been around since the 1800s but technological advances create the real possibility of commercially available zero emission vehicles. Want to know more about the history of transportation in the United States and where we are headed in the future? AltWheels will feature expertsdiscussing these and other important topics, taking your questions, and responding to your comments
			It's Important
				A major challenge for the developed world is the creation of sustainable, clean sources of energy for the next century. Gas and diesel automobile technology is improving every year, but cars, trucks, and buses continue to be major users of fossil fuels. Transportation currently accounts for about a third of greenhouse gas emissions in this country. Experience the technological choices such as hybrid, fuel cell, electric, and multi-fuel vehicles in a discussion on creating a sustainable transportation vision for the 21st century.
