Recommendations on the Loudoun Transportation Plan
A paper by the Coalition for Smarter Growth on some of the potential downfalls within the Loudoun Transportation Plan, including flawed traffic modeling and lack of integrated analysis of land use and transportation alternatives.

Cool Communities
When you think cool communities, you might think of vibrant neighborhoods with great streets and parks, coffee shops, bars and restaurants, a variety of stores and other activities. But these communities also offer the opportunity to help reduce the warming of our climate, while reducing oil consumption and transportation costs. Where we build and how we build our neighborhoods will make a real difference.
Prince George’s County: Letter to Chairman of the Planning Board
We request that the board not approve the DSP as proposed but request a full revision of the “Commons at Addison Road” in order that ensure the project conform with transit- and pedestrian-oriented design standards in the Approved Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Addison Road Metro Town Center and Vicinity (ARM).
Request to WMATA Jurisdiction Leaders to Give Their Fair Share to Metro
A letter from the Coalition for Smater Growth urging regional leaders to contribute funding to help ease WMATA's FY2011 deficit and avoid further fare increases and service cuts.
DC: Metro Budget Hearing Testimony
Our core position on the Metro budget proposal is to oppose the severe service cuts. In a joint campaign with partner conservation and transit advocacy groups, www.fairshareformetro.com, we advocate for $74 million in additional funding from the Metro jurisdictions. This will fund the $40 million unaccounted for and avoid the $34 million in service cuts. If the public is being asked to pay higher fares, then they should not also be asked to endure severe service cuts as well. It is fair to ask for the jurisdictional member governments to provide the additional funding.
