Best practices in smart growth and transportation 2004 competition: revitalizing communities and corridors: creating statewide strategies for land use and transportation

AASHTO sent a solicitation to all State Departments of Transportation seeking examples of efforts underway to integrate smart growth and transportation. Our panel of expert judges selected three applicants as overall winners—one in each of three categories: best project, best program, and best in institutional change. These initiatives serve as models of the best innovations and collaborative efforts in integrating smart growth and transportation. Seven additional programs were recognized as notable practices. This report recognizes the overall winner from each of the three categories. The winners and notable practices are grouped according to two themes emerging across the United States: 1. Revitalization of communities and corridors on a project or regional level; and 2. Development of broad, statewide, smart growth strategies for integration of transportation and land use. These winning initiatives and all of the applicants from across the country convey the positive forces at work in helping America's communities grow in a responsible manner—protecting vital resources and ensuring mobility, while encouraging economic development and neighborhood cohesion. The projects documented in this report truly represent best practices in smart growth and transportation practices that make the most sense for communities, the economy, and the environment.
