AltWheels festival showcases efficient transportation

Organizers are preparing for the 4^th annual AltWheels Festival to be held in Boston Sept. 22-24.

More than 8,000 attendees are expected, including corporate and government officials. All types of alternate transportation vehicles will be showcased, and there will interactive exhibits, test rides and children's activities. Historical vehicles such as the Stanley Steamer and a 1914 electric car will also be on display.

A symposium will be held at the Museum of Science a week earlier with seminars, displays and panel discussions covering a variety of topics. An invitation-only fleet day will be held on Sept. 25 so officials can learn more about reducing fuel costs and emissions when converting their fleets.

Many of the events are free. Check out altwheels.org for more information.
