Great cities rely on great transit, and great transit needs great streets. Cities and transit agencies are working together to elevate transit in the center of the city.

Providing safe, comfortable, convenient places to bike is an essential strategy for cities to improve mobility, livability and public health.

Bike share and shared micromobility have rapidly emerged as new transportation options that can increase cycling, improve urban mobility, and bolster public transit usage.

Cities are leading the movement to redesign and reinvest in our streets as cherished public spaces for people, as well as critical arteries for traffic.

Over 35,000 people die in traffic crashes across the U.S. every year. Through speed management and street design, cities can stem this public health crisis.

Streets are part of the ecological fabric of cities, and resilient infrastructure can help create safer, healthier, and more vibrant streets.

NACTO fosters open communication and collaboration between cities and develops peer networks of knowledgeable and engaged policymakers, practitioners, and planners.

Digital Design Charrettes are interactive webinars where city staff and peers across the NACTO network brainstorm solutions to real-world design challenges.

Cities today have a unique opportunity to shape an autonomous future that puts people at the core of all decision-making.

Unsafe vehicle design is exacerbating the safety crisis on American streets. Better design can help solve it.

The California City Transportation Initiative (CaCTI), was a one-year program supporting a coalition of seven of California’s largest cities dedicated to safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation outcomes.

A plethora of new technologies are vying for space on the public right-of-way. Cities have the right and responsibility to manage them responsibly.

The Global Designing Cities Initiative inspires a shift toward safe, sustainable, and healthy cities through transforming streets throughout the world.
