TLC HOMEPAGE

The Transportation for Livable Communities Project is a partnership of Sustainable Pittsburgh and the Surface Transportation Policy Project serving to advance transportation reform in southwestern Pennsylvania. TLC is directing an alliance of non-profit, civic, business, and governmental organizations to achieve this reform based upon the TEA-21 reauthorization platform principles: Build Communities and Promote Choice; Learn to Serve People; Require Accountability and Reward Performance; and Fix It First.

Transportation for Livable Communities has collaborated with these stakeholders to prepare a Regional Policy Guidance Document. The Document was submitted to respective government agencies (Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, etc.)  for use in guiding the region's public investments and planning at the county, region, and state levels toward creating sustainable communities. The Document is comprised of nine interrelated policy papers in areas such as Transit Oriented Development and Land Use, Transportation Equity, etc. The Document reflects many of the recommendations of the aforementioned reports as well as those of other organizations with which Sustainable Pittsburgh collaborates to steer Southwestern Pennsylvania a prosperous future.
