Transportation needs always exceed funding. At the same time, transportation projects are expected to do more than ever -- move cars, trucks, transit, bikes and pedestrians safely and efficiently. Transportation for America works with transportation agencies to find ways to make money go farther and to identify ways to make better move all users of the system safely.
Through facilitated discussion, a panel of Certified Planners representing the diverse sectors and firms in Delaware will be challenged to determine if actions portrayed violate the Rules of Conduct and the Aspirational Principles of the AICP Code of Ethics, and discuss which Rules and Principles are in play for each of the characters in the skit.

In 2015, with the Pope and tons of visitors heading to town, Philadelphia became the largest city in North America to legalize short-term residential rentals (such as ones listed on AirBnB, HomeAway.com, and through other booking agents). With changes to the city’s zoning and tax code, a system was put into place that addressed the interests of property owners renting spare rooms and entire units, the guests they hosted, neighbors and traditional hotel operators.
Transient residencies, internet rentals, neighborhood character in flux, enforcement issues. Join NJAPZA and APA-NJ on March 29 at the Asbury Park Municipal Building from 9am-12pm for a discussion on how towns can address short term rentals.
