The National Association of City Transpor-tation Officials is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that represents large cities on transportation issues of local, regional, and national significance. NACTO views the transportation departments of major cities as effective and necessary partners in regional and national transportation efforts and promotes their interests in federal decision making. The organization facil-itates the exchange of transportation ideas, insights, and best practices among large cities, while fostering a cooperative approach to key issues facing cities and metropolitan areas. As a coalition of city transportation departments, NACTO
is committed to raising the state of practice for street design and transpor tation by building a common vision, sharing data, peer-to-peer exchange in workshops and conferences, and regular communication among member cities.
