This session focuses on examples of two engaging, community-based plans now being implemented to achieve active, vibrant environments in an existing downtown (Burlington, VT) and a new TOD neighborhood (Santa Monica, CA).  Both plans were adopted in 2013, funded by HUD Office of Sustainable Communities Community Challenge grants, a pioneering Federal program that supports cities to develop integrated land use and transportation plans.   The webinar will include ideas and lessons learned for involving the community, designing and presenting information, and including a phased Implementation Plan that guides and measures achievement of Plan goals.

This webinar will address the viability of ferry services and their integration into public transportation systems. Speakers include Tim Payne, Principal of Nelson Nygaard and 35 years of experience. He also led development of TCRP SB-23, “Integrating Passenger Ferry Service with Mass Transit” on behalf of the Transportation Research Board.   Also speaking will be Hannah Henn, Assistant Vice President and Director of Ferries at New York City Economic Development Corporation.
