Surface Transportation Policy Guide
By American Planning Association National
APA's Surface Transportation Policy Guide identifies policy solutions for planners and local, state, and federal elected officials that address the evolving nature of transportation policy and how communities plan for regional transportation options that work for everyone.
Building On
Policy Guide Working Group Chair Whit Blanton, FAICP, describes how the new guide addresses timely issues that have evolved since 2010 — like accessibility, climate change, and Vision Zero — that demanded a renewed focus, and how APA members and planners can use the guide as a tool to effect change not only at the regional level but also at the state and federal levels.
