Webinar: Federal transportation reform for the 21st century

By Rachel Ellis, December 16, 2025

It’s time to bring our federal transportation program into the 21st century. In this webinar, Smart Growth America’s Interim President & CEO, Beth Osborne, and Transportation for America's Policy Manager, Corrigan Salerno, host a conversation on T4A's bold policy proposal to modernize the program by demanding accountability, updating outdated standards, and ensuring real returns on investment for the public. Explore how current models and measures prioritize vehicle speed over safety, access, and equity—and how we can shift federal priorities to deliver meaningful outcomes for communities. Learn what reforms are needed, why they matter, and how advocates can help push this vision forward.
