Unfortunately, land use planning and transportation investment decisions are often made by different entities and/or levels of government. Land use decisions are typically made at the local level, while transportation decisions are made at the local, regional, state and federal levels. In turn, the transportation decision makers at the various levels need to consider the effects the existing and future transportation systems may have on land use patterns. How do we better integrate land use and transportation decision making?
How do we get decision makers to consider both land use and transportation when considering development sites, development regulations or public investment decisions?

Our political leaders and their appointees should attend educational summits or other educational venues when they are elected or appointed to any board or commission. Everyone should be made aware of the air, water and land crisis we are facing. Additionally, politicians should start appointing educated professionals and everyday citizens to boards to get some common sense into the equation. Currently, folks tend to perceive the well-heeled doing public service (board members) for their own self-serving information and interests.
