What is Motivational Interviewing?
“Motivational interviewing is a person-centred, guiding method of communication to elicit and strengthen motivation for change”
What this means: Led by the target rather than you – the answers come from the

Participant Feedback
“It was perfect timing – we had just moved to the area and the Travel Advisor helped us figure out all the different options instead of just jumping in the car”
“I am trying to restrict my personal car use, waiting a day or so to go out…I walk for pleasure and sometimes walk to the library instead of driving, depending on the number of books!”
“A one stop shop, we didn’t have to go to a bunch of places to get the information. Very convenient!”
“The bike map is great- I’m doing a lot more biking now that I have the map.”
