Partnership for Sustainable Communities
Purpose
An interagency partnership with EPA and HUD to help improve access to affordable

the environment in communities nationwide.
Per DOT contact:
DOT does not have any specific programs to fund the Partnership for Sustainable
Communities. Instead DOT aims to fund these types of projects through other,
existing programs including TIGER Program, Bus and Bus Livability Grants, FTA
Alternatives Analysis, Transportation, System, and Community Preservation (TCSP).

Integrated Environmental Strategies:
The Integrated Environmental Strategies program (formerly titled Regulatory Innovation) focuses on priority cross-agency management and
policy issues – in particular, those central to creating more sustainable communities and businesses and developing strategies for
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency. These activities, carried out in collaboration with other Agency programs,
support the Agency’s core mission of protecting human health and the environment by providing tools and resources to create stronger,
prosperous, and more economically and environmentally resilient communities and businesses Recognizing a constrained fiscal environment,
EPA is reducing or terminating lower priority voluntary programs to increase and refocus efforts on promoting sustainable development
and a greener economy. EPA considers these efforts to be a higher priority because these efforts have greater promise for yielding
environmental results, and they are directly central to the Administrator's priority for safe, clean communities and sustainable development.
