About TLCI

NOACA's Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative provides assistance to communities and public agencies for integrated transportation and land use planning and projects that strengthen community livability. TLCI advances the goals of NOACA’s Regional Strategic Plan by focusing on the following objectives:

Develop transportation projects that provide more travel options through complete streets and context sensitive solutions, increasing user safety and supporting positive public health impacts
Promote reinvestment in underutilized or vacant/abandoned properties through development concepts supported by multimodal transportation systems
Support economic development through place-based transportation and land use recommendations, and connect these proposals with existing assets and investments
Ensuring that the benefits of growth and change are available to all members of a community by integrating principles of accessibility and environmental justice into projects
Enhance regional cohesion by supporting collaboration between regional and community partners
Provide people with safe and reliable transportation choices that enhance their quality of life

Overview

The TLCI program consists of two components: (1) planning and (2) implementation.

Planning awards help fund planning studies that can lead to improvements to transportation systems and the neighborhoods they support.
Implementation awards help communities move forward with the development and installation of infrastructure from past completed livability studies. Project sponsors are encouraged to submit minimum implementation requests of $100,000. However, projects requiring less than $100,000 will be considered if they exemplify the goals of the TLCI program.
