Actually, from her response it sounded to me like she'd been involved with those programs in the past and no one is interested. I'd have to agree - on Bike to Work Day (5/18 or something), I noticed a near traffic jam on the local MUP. Few days later? I'd see 4 people per day on my commute.
Although to offer one counter example - BtW day was the first time I tried it, and I kept with it. So here's one convert form such programs.
