Welcome to the Fall Platform newsletter. As I write this, Congress has just returned after its recess with a mountain of issues awaiting action. Policy Director Sarah Kline takes a look at what’s at stake while Chief of Staff Allison Brooks and Deputy Policy Director Darnell Chadwick Grisby explore the America Fast Forward proposal.

In a follow up to a summer newsletter article, Project Director Abigail Thorne-Lyman explains how to set up regional partnerships to support creation of sustainable, equitable communities, and Sam Zimbabwe, CTOD’s director, details our work with regional stakeholders to articulate the benefits and challenges of transit and TOD.

We hope you find this newsletter informative.
