The Best Of The Best Practices

Reconnecting America is the only national non-profit organization devoted to promoting best practices in transit-oriented development and development-oriented transit. Our Center for Transit-Oriented Development, a joint effort with the Center for Neighborhood Technology and Strategic Economics, is funded by the federal government to serve as a national TOD clearinghouse, to help develop TOD standards and performance measures, and to provide research support and technical assistance.

You can help in this effort by alerting us to documents -- new and old -- you feel should be included. Please forward a PDF copy or a link to the original document to info@reconnectingamerica.org.
