Transportation

Governance
RPA works to fix the institutions that are failing us by assisting and reforming the governments and agencies responsible for investments and policies that cut across the region’s three states and 782 municipalities.
If planners are not careful and intentional, equity could become a buzzword instead of an outcome people experience as a result of our work.”
