The National League of Cities (NLC) has released a new resource, the Civic Mapping Initiative, to help local governments and transit planners identify opportunities for improving public transit access to critical civic infrastructure and resources. The Civic Mapping Initiative offers easily navigable maps that allow local policymakers to measure the proximity of local transit stops to public services such as Head Start centers and community colleges so that access can be improved where needed. “Improving access to public transit can help build more equitable communities by opening new doors for residents and changing people’s lives,” NLC CEO and Executive Director Clarence Anthony said. “NLC is thrilled to bring the Civic Mapping Initiative into our programming as we continue to support local leaders in identifying opportunities to create more connectivity and improve mobility in their cities, towns and villages.”
