Surface Transportation
Policy Project (STTP), Washington
| STTP is a US non-government nationwide network of more than 250 organisations that completely changed US transportation policy from one that was engineering-driven, top-down, secretive, fiscally irresponsible, and almost entirely focused on highways, to one that is more planning-based, locally- controlled, open, fiscally constrained, and intermodal. A number of KMFA supporters heard STTP Director, Don Chen, speak in Ringwood last year when he was invited to a seminar run by Environment Victoria's Smogbusters. |
