"Happier, Healthier, Sexier, and Smarter: Transportation and the Secret of Life"
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
National Capital Planning Commission
An event arranged by the Coalition for Smarter Growth
Sustainable transportation is composed of strategic and thoughtful investments that help a community achieve its larger economic vitality, social equity, ecological diversity, quality of life, and other goals. Transportation is inseparable from land use planning, economic development, and even human health and happiness.
Although many sectors are embracing the challenges of long term sustainability, transportation planning lags behind with many policies and standards still rooted in a bygone era. Please join in a discussion about the compelling need and tremendous opportunities to plan, implement, and communicate sustainable transportation strategies for the nation and future.
About the Speaker
