Steven Gayle, Executive Director of the Binghamton Metropolitan Transportation Study, has been invited by the White House Office of Urban Affairs to participate in a roundtable on its Sustainable Community Planning program on March 9.
In his invitation, Adolfo Carrion, Director of the Office of Urban Affairs, explains that last year the Obama Administration “directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Transportation to launch an unprecedented interagency effort to integrate housing and transportation decisions, and to increase the capacity to improve land use and zoning.” The Sustainable Community Planning program, led by HUD, is one of the outcomes of that effort.
This roundtable will engage planning practitioners from smaller metropolitan areas. Mr. Gayle will be speaking on behalf of the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and also on behalf of BMTS. He will speak to BMTS’ award winning plan, TRANSPORTATION TOMORROW 2030 ~ PLACEMAKING FOR PROSPERITY. This plan focuses future transportation spending on revitalizing and redeveloping our core communities, a key element of sustainable community planning
