How has your organization responded to federal administration changes? Take our survey
Center for Neighborhood Technology has created a survey to learn how peers and other organizations are shifting programs, language, or other strategies in response to the current federal administration. We plan to use insights from the survey to understand how we can respond and support partners and champions across the country. The survey should take 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Questions? Please contact Molly Wagner.

How Transportation Built America – And How the Next Surface Transportation Bill Can Build Affordability
Eno Center for Transportation | August 27, 2025
America is approaching its 250th year and a new turning point. At each turning point, new mobility – and a federal policy to match – reshaped the country: canals and steamboats for an agrarian republic; transcontinental rail for industrialization; the Interstate System and commercial aviation for a knowledge economy. While past investments boosted national security, economic growth, and travel safety by connecting rural and urban areas, they came with drawbacks. Railroads and interstates displaced Indigenous communities, exploited labor, and caused uneven prosperity, exclusionary zoning, reinforced biases, pollution, and a car-dominated system that deterred more affordable choices.
CNT is engaged by governments, advocates, policy makers, and community groups to apply our expertise to solving problems.
