Where can we find information on training and educational opportunities for State DOT practitioners to implement livability strategies?
Training and educational opportunities for State DOT practitioners to implement livability strategies are offered through a variety of sources including the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) National Highway Institute (NHI) and the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Transit Institute (NTI). NHI and NTI offer courses on transportation and land use and transit-oriented development. The transportation and land use course is designed to help practitioners develop a multimodal transportation system that supports desired land uses and helps them shape land uses to support the transportation system. The transit-oriented development course is designed to help participants explain the relationship between land development and the transit system and how it fits into the transportation planning requirements at the Federal, State, and local levels.
