Dear Teachers:

I write with an exciting extra-curricular opportunity for students who are interested in government, planning, transportation, and policy, and would ask that you circulate the attached information about this opportunity accordingly.

The Community Leadership Institute (CLI) on transportation planning issues is a tremendous learning opportunity for students. During this Saturday workshop, students will learn how, where, and when transportation planning decisions are made in the Washington region. Through a variety of case studies and group activities, students will also learn how to connect the interests of their communities with the planning issues facing the entire Washington region. The curriculum covers concepts such as linking transportation with land-use, effective advocacy, and the role of government in planning.

The CLI is hosted by the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that is charged with coordinating transportation planning and funding for the Metropolitan Washington Region. The TPB is committed to investing in the knowledge of leaders across the region, and is comprised of representatives of local governments, state transportation agencies, state and DC legislatures, and WMATA. Two former TPB Chairs, Peter Shapiro and Kathy Porter, will facilitate the CLI, bringing their skills in leadership development and their wealth of experience as former elected officials.

The CLI is free to accepted participants, and meals will be included as part of the program. Interested candidates may apply by submitting an application (available at [link removed].

Additional information, including an application, may be found by visiting the Transportation Planning Board’s CLI website at [link removed].

Feel free to contact Deborah Kerson Bilek at [email removed].

Thanks very much for your consideration!
