From the Margins to the Mainstream: A Guide to Transportation Opportunities in Your Community

The FTA, in partnership with the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership, co-sponsored a series of public workshops around the country in 2006.

• The Guidebook – From the Margins to the Mainstream:  A Guide to Transportation Opportunities in Your Community – reviews how federal surface transportation law can be used to support local and statewide efforts to build more livable communities and expand travel options.
• The Workshop Report – Using the Federal Transportation Law to Meeting the Mobility Needs of Your Community: Report on Workshop Discussions, Findings and Next Steps – describes key findings from the STPP Partners workshop series, which were held in seven locations from January - June 2006.
• The State Spending Tables were prepared for the each of the workshops, providing a state-by-state review of spending by federal highway program category for FYs 1992-'05.
