D.C. Surface Transit commissioned the Brookings Institution to look at funding alternatives for a proposed streetcar. Brookings then subcontracted with Reconnecting America for assistance. Out of that collaboration came “Value Capture and Tax-Increment Financing Options for Streetcar Construction.”  Below are the maps and graphics that are inside of the report. 

If you search for more than one word (for example, Atlanta transit), we'll look for documents with EITHER of those words in them.

To find a document with ALL words, put "and" between your words (for example: Atlanta and transit).

To find an exact phrase, use quotes (for example "Atlanta transit").
