EPA's Partnership for Sustainable Communities: An interagency partnership between EPA (Smart Growth Program), HUD,
and DOT to help improve access to affordable housing, more transportation options, and lower transportation costs
while protecting the environment in communities nationwide. Through a set of guiding livability principles and
a partnership agreement that will guide the agencies' efforts, this partnership will coordinate federal housing,
transportation, and other infrastructure investments to protect the environment, promote equitable development,
and help to address the challenges of climate change.
