Transportation Knowledge Checklist

This knowledge set was developed by Neighborhood Services staff working with City staff from the Public Works Department. Each item has been determined to be an important piece of understanding that Traffic committee representatives should have in order to be the most effective link between their neighborhood association board and members, and the City decision makers. Training is available from City staff to help with any of these knowledge areas that a neighborhood volunteer feels he/she is lacking and wants to learn more.
