Smarter Growth Present:

SMARTER GROWTH AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE WASHINGTON REGION:
HOW WILL THE REGION'S PROPOSED 25-YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN MEASURE UP?

Smarter growth calls for integrating transportation and land use
planning.  Billions of dollars are allocated by the region�s
jurisdictions through the update of the 25-year regional transportation
plan (known as the Constrained Long Range Plan or CLRP).  Will the new
plan foster alternatives to the automobile, reduce traffic congestion,
and discourage loss of farms and forests?  Will it help direct needed
resources to the inner suburbs and the urban core?  Three elected
officials from inside the Beltway and local alternative transportation
experts will comment:

Hon. Chris Zimmerman, Member, Arlington County Board
Hon. Phil Mendelson, Member, Council of the District of Columbia
Hon. Peter Shapiro, Member, Prince George's County Council
Michael Replogle, Federal Transportation Director, Environmental Defense

Allen Muchnick, Board Member, Washington Regional Network For Livable
