For the past 15 years, the Transportation Land Use Connections (TLC) program has funded 167 planning and design projects throughout the Washington region that promote vibrant communities and alternative modes of travel – including walking, transit, and biking. More recently, the Regional Roadway Safety Program (RRSP) has funded similar projects to address safety concerns on local roads. Both programs are funded by the Transportation Planning Board at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and are offered to local governments throughout our region.

This public webinar will share some recent examples of TLC and RRSP projects – including pedestrian safety plans, trail design, and bike safety education. We will conduct the fast-paced program using a "pecha kucha" format in which presenters have just 6-7 minutes to tell their stories – so we expect to keep the webinar informal and lively.

AICP Credits: Participants will be eligible to receive one credit for AICP certification maintenance
