Promoting Best Practices on Transportation and Livability Linkages

This project will develop a series of pilot projects focused on comprehensive multimodal mobility planning for gateway communities. The pilot program will consist of identifying unique needs of the gateway communities, identifying the needs of Federal Lands Management Agencies that are adjacent to these gateway communities, and the current state of transportation planning and infrastructure. Based on these elements a pilot action plan will be developed to: (1) look at the current planning practices in mitigating congestion; (2) mitigate environmental impacts to the resource; and (3) develop a planning pilot program that will advance a multimodal transportation system to minimize impacts to the resource.
