Complete Streets policies have spread through the country as change often does, starting off slowly and then accelerating. We’re at that acceleration point now. In just the few short years since we coined the term Complete Streets and created our broad-based Coalition, we have shifted the way millions of Americans think about how streets should serve the people using them. Thanks to our efforts, almost 200 communities, states and localities now have complete streets policies in place.
Your help has made a difference but our acceleration won’t last long, unless our friends and supporters help us Seize the Moment and invest further in the National Complete Streets Coalition to create lasting change. We are counting on all of our supporters to reach our goal of raising an additional $20,000 this year from our annual appeal, and we hope that you will make your tax-deductible gift today.
We’ve added a new Individual Partner category to further expand our Coalition (see below), and we are thanking all new Partners with a new benefit: “Dinner with Dan” on January 25 in Washington, DC (during the TRB Annual Meeting), an opportunity for an intimate conversation with Dan Burden, the internationally recognized authority on walkable communities, livability, sustainability and Smart Growth. At this dinner at the elegant New Heights restaurant just steps from the two main conference hotels, Dan will be talking about “Seizing the Moment for Complete Streets: transforming our communities from the ground up!”
