    Get PDF
    Robust public transportation options can yield significant savings for households, local governments, and the environment. However, the lack of stable funding for public transit threatens the long-term viability of transportation systems that offer alternatives to dependence on automobiles. This article looks at some possibilities for policy reform that can re-balance transportation priorities and spending to better support the development of walkable neighborhoods near high quality transit.Community development ; Transportation

    Transit-oriented development (TOD) can serve the needs of working families—particularly those with low- and moderate-incomes—by linking workers to viable employment opportunities through strategically located affordable housing and accessible transit options. This article discusses the potential of economic development subsidies to support TOD and highlights ideas for communities seeking to link residents to good jobs through TOD.

    Equipping communities to achieve equitable transit-oriented development

    Get PDF
    Though transit-oriented development (TOD) is uniquely positioned to benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities, most TOD projects do not focus on the interests of LMI communities and in some cases have dramatically disrupted low-income neighborhoods. However, there are several tools and strategies that can help mitigate the potential negative impacts of TOD and maximize benefits for LMI communities. This article examines Denver's TOD fund, Oakland CA's Fruitvale Village, and Longfellow Station in Minneapolis, MN, highlighting the equity provisions built into each model.Community development ; Transportation

    Financial literacy: an overview of practice, research, and policy

    Get PDF
    Attention to financial literacy has grown in recent years, in large part because technological, market, and legislative changes have resulted in a more complex financial services industry that requires consumers to be more actively involved in managing their finances. Consumer and community interest groups, banking companies, government agencies, and policymakers, among others, have become concerned that many consumers lack a working knowledge of financial concepts and the tools they need to make decisions most advantageous to their economic well-being. As a result, considerable resources have been devoted to financial literacy, with a wide range of organizations providing training, including banks, consumer and community groups, employers, and government agencies. Overall, studies suggest that financial literacy training can lead to better decisionmaking; however, the findings raise numerous questions about the best means of providing that training, the most appropriate setting, and the most opportune timing. Findings from recent research on personal money management styles, combined with awareness of human behavioral traits, offer insights that may be useful in developing successful training programs and strategies.Financial literacy ; Economics - Study and teaching ; Finance, Personal
