Because transportation investments are so inextricably linked with urban form, because they matter greatly for real estate decision making, and because they are so vital to national and metropolitan prosperity, for the past five years ULI has made it a priority to engage in national, state and regional conversations about the future of surface transportation policy. This work has been generously supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and other partners.
This work encompasses:
- Dialogue about the federal surface transportation program and priorities for reform
- Exploration of opportunities to better link transportation investment and funding decisions to land use
- Discussion of how to fund and plan transportation solutions for compact development in suburban locations
