From the Margins to the Mainstream: Using the Federal Transportation Law to Meet the Mobility Needs of Your Community. Report on Workshop Discussions, Findings, and Next Steps

In the first six months of 2006, the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership (STPP) held seven workshops on how to use the federal surface transportation law to increase pedestrian and bicycle travel, improve the safety of all system users, expand transit, and conform transportation investments to the context of various communities. The workshops, conducted in seven cities in different areas of the country, were structured to give the more than 700 participants the opportunities and insights to learn more about Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for Users (SAFETY-LU) and develop strategic partnerships to help them make progress on necessary transportation improvements in their communities, regions and states. This report serves as a companion to the publication From the Margins to the Mainstream: A Guide to Transportation Opportunities in Your Community. This publication relates findings and discussions from the seven aforementioned workshops.
