Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS)
Transportation investments + Land use patterns
Where will homes, job centers, open space, retail be located? More opportunities to drive less through increased public transit
and biking and walking options.

Risks for Rural Communities Strong Urban Bias and Competing Interests
Where will investments go? Counties have encouraged disinvestment and growth
around and away from historic low income neighborhoods and communities
Systematically underserved in the overall allocation of public resources
Left out of local decision making processes
