We need smarter, sustainable communities

The Livable Communities Act would help communities across America plan for and create better and more affordable places to live, work, and raise families.

No two American communities are the same – and they require equally unique and innovative approaches to sustainable development – not one-size-fits-all solutions.

Livable communities mean access to public transportation, affordable housing, thriving Main Streets, and sensible environmental policies. The bill would provide our communities with the resources to plan for and meet their unique needs.

Dear Decision-Maker,

I'm writing today because I think the future of America's communities relies on smart planning and sustainable development.

The Livable Communities Act would make our government a partner in helping communities, both rural and urban, plan for and create better and more affordable places to live, work, and raise families.

If passed, the Act would help communities: 
- Effectively manage the costs of housing, transportation, and service provision;
- Ensure that long-term plans are sensitive to the context and surrounding environment, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach; and
- Provide tools and resources for local governments to plan regionally and sustainably.

Our communities will reap lasting benefits from an investment in sustainable development - protecting community character and quality of life is a cornerstone of continued economic growth and prosperity.

As a supporter of Transportation for America, I urge you to support this bill and make a smart investment in America’s communities.
