Surface Transportation Policy Project (STPP). STPP advocated for the passage California Infill Opportunity Zone Law (Senate Bill 1636) and can provide you with additional information about the law's history and how to implement infill opportunity zones in California communities. For non-California residents, STPP can provide you with information on how to campaign for the passage of an 'Infill Opportunity Zone Law' in your state. Contact Kristi Kimball, STPP California Deputy Director at (415) 956-7835 or kkimball@transact.org.

 
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Caltrans' Office of Community Planning worked extensively on the Statewide Transit-Oriented Development Study: Factors for Success in California and can answer any questions about the benefits of transit-oriented development. Contact Terry Parker, Caltrans' Office of Community Planning at (916) 654-5547 or terry_parker@dot.ca.gov.

 
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The VTA developed A Manual of Best Practices for Integrating Transportation and Land Use which includes strategies that can help your community revise outdated LOS measures and identify alternative traffic mitigation and street design options that will accommodate all modes (see especially the sections on "Multi-Modal Street Treatments" and "Multi-Modal Field Surveys"). For more information, contact Chris Augenstein, Principal Transportation Planner, Congestion Management Program at (408) 321-7093 or chris.augenstein@vta.org.

 
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The FDOT was among the very first transportation agencies in the nation to revise their LOS (level-of-service) standards beyond the single-minded focus on ensuring free-flowing automobile traffic. For more information on their Multi-Modal Quality of Service Project Report, which details the service standards that they have developed for pedestrians and bicyclists, or to learn about other research that FDOT has done in this area, contact Doug McLeod, Level of Service Manager at (850) 414-4932 or douglas.mcleod@dot.state.fl.us


King County (Washington) Department of Transportation (KCDOT). The KCDOT is a great source of nationwide TOD information. They have compiled case studies across the U.S. which you can access. For more information, contact Henry Markus, Senior Project Manager at (206) 684-6738 or henry.markus@metrokc.gov
