This Webcast provided an overview of the DOT-HUD-EPA Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities and highlight its current efforts. Earlier this year the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a new interagency partnership to help families gain better access to affordable housing, more transportation options, and lower transportation costs. The unprecedented agreement establishes six 'livability principles' that will coordinate policy for federal transportation, environmental protection, and housing investments.
