Vibrant Communities and Safer Roads: A Look at FY 2023 Transportation Land-Use and Regional Roadway Safety Projects

About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

Transportation

Through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), area officials, planners, and engineers ensure a well-managed and maintained transportation system. The TPB, which is staffed by COG, conducts the federally mandated transportation planning process for the region and ensures the uninterrupted flow of federal transportation funds that area jurisdictions receive.

Environment

COG's work engages leaders in various environmental fields from water quality experts to climate scientists. Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Homeland Security & Public Safety

COG brings police chiefs, fire chiefs, emergency managers, and other leaders together as part of its work to strengthen regional public safety coordination, homeland security planning, and emergency communication.

For over 15 years, the Transportation Land Use Connections (TLC) program has funded close to 200 planning and design projects throughout the National Capital region that promote vibrant communities and alternative modes of travel. More recently, the Regional Roadway Safety Program (RRSP) has funded similar projects to address safety concerns on local roads.

This free webinar will share some recent examples of TLC and RRSP projects – including pedestrian safety plans, trail design, bike safety education, first mile-last mile connections, and delivery microhubs. 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!

Whether you’re a planning professional, a community leader, or an interested resident, you are invited to attend. Register Now.

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