Mission Statement
Our mission is to ensure that transportation and development decisions accommodate growth while revitalizing communities, providing more housing and travel choices, and conserving our natural and historic areas.
Description
The Coalition for Smarter Growth is solidly established as the central coordinating agent and voice of smart growth in Metropolitan Washington. The Coalition works in partnership with our members--over 40 local, regional and national environmental and civic organizations such as Audubon Naturalist Society, Broad Run Civic Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Campaign to Reinvest in the Heart of Oxon Hill, and Friends of Manassas National Battlefield Park and Surface Transportation Policy Project.
The CoalitionĂ¢ s regional smart growth campaign employs three major strategies to support and cultivate community participation in growth and transportation decisions: a media campaign; outreach & organizing efforts; and involvement in specific transportation, land use and development plans.
