Complete Streets 101 - Benefits, Eligibility & Funding

Complete Streets can benefit all communities - rural, suburban and urban! By attending this workshop, local leaders, decision makers, and consultants will gain a solid framework for planning and delivering Complete Streets locally. Learn how the Complete Streets Funding Program can help you design and fund Complete Streets projects. After this training you will understand how Complete Streets can benefit your community.
