           COORDINATING TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE
    A New Three Day Intensive Course on Tools and Techniques

The National Transit Institute is pleased to announce the offering 
of a new training course on Coordinating Transportation and Land 
Use. The purpose of this three-day training is to identify and 
disseminate the most useful information, evidence, tools, and 
techniques which are now available, for integrating transportation 
and land use planning. 

	Planners must also be able to measure the implications of 
urban form and site design for transportation, as well as the 
implications of transportation for urban form and site design. The 
practical instruction for this course has two parts: (1) to provide 
training specifically related to issues at the regional level in 
development of metropolitan transportation plans, at the corridor 
level in development of major investment studies, and at the 
project level in completion of NEPA studies; and (2) to provide 
guidance on how to address transportation in site development and 
in neighborhood, municipal, and regional plans. The course also 
identifies best practices.

Target Audience
	The target audience is transportation and land use professionals 
in the spectrum of agencies who work in the area of transportation 
and land use coordination.  These include comprehensive, land use, 
and transportation planners who work in state departments of 
transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, transit 
agencies, state/county/local planning agencies, and consulting 
firms.  Portions of the course are specifically targeted to include 
local civic activists, modelers, and elected officials as participants.

of the Department of City and Regional Planning, University of 
California at Berkeley, is a recognized expert on the subject of the
