Do you have a local paper which might be interested in launching a campaign? There's plenty of good material for a journo there. People who don't want a car but need one to get to work. Buses which take an hour to go 5 miles. Cyclists endangered by traffic. People with restricted mobility being stuck in their homes. Older people who can't actually use their free bus passes.
If you have any kind of creative talent, or friends who do, you could make some vids about specific local problems and stick them online. Not because you expect to get a big audience but because you can promote the link in local area groups and send them to the paper.
More effort than turning up to council meetings and collaring candidates when they're campaigning for elections. But likely more effective if the issue is not already on the local agenda.
