Abstract:
This report provides an overview of the Transportation and Community and System Preservation (TCSP) Pilot Program that was established in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and highlights some of the more innovative, community-based planning tools that have been applied in communities that have received TCSP funding. Congress established the TCSP Program in recognition of the need for a comprehensive program to assist in the planning, development and implementation of strategies that integrate transportation, land use, and community and systems preservation.
