Next Installment of “From the Margins to the Mainstream” Workshop Announced
Over the course of the past year, CNT and the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership have held a series of webinars and workshops aimed at educating transportation advocates, government officials, developers, and citizens on the transportation planning process. These have been part of a larger project whose goal is to improve the quality of public involvement during transportation planning.
The next installment of “From the Margins to the Mainstream” is a workshop to help participants understand what the principles referred to as “context sensitive solutions” (CSS) are, and how these principles can be used to balance and integrate the needs of travelers and communities in the planning and design of urban transportation systems. The workshop is directed at advocates, local officials and planning/design professionals in state DOTs, transit agencies, MPOs, and consultants.
The workshop will feature leading transportation experts, land use planners, and state and local officials as speakers and panelists. A field trip is included to give participants an opportunity to assess the potential of transforming a major urban corridor or transit station area by applying CSS principles.
STPP and CNT’s goal is to provide the tools to work more effectively with local governments, DOT, transit agencies, and MPOs on the planning and design of multi-modal transportation systems that balance the needs of all users, promote walkable communities, and encourage private investment.
The workshop will be held July 24-25th in Denver. Check out CNT’s events calendar or STPP’s website for updates on the workshop program and how to register in the next few weeks.
