For years, designers, planners and engineers in the CNU network have worked to implement new urbanist principles through high quality transportation projects. The Summit is an opportunity to pool our experiences, advance our expertise, and influence the work of the transportation-engineering mainstream.
The 2008 Summit focused on sustainable transportation networks.
