Livable Communities

Moving easily and safely from one place to another vastly improves quality of life. Whether walking, driving, cycling, or using transit, transportation options connect people to their communities. Transportation must provide access to social activities, jobs, and medical care as well as be convenient, accessible, and include low-cost alternatives to driving.

Access to quality, affordable utility services, including electric, gas, and communications, is an important part of ensuring livability and maintaining reasonable monthly living expenses.

Our homes are extensions of ourselves and our families, the familiar physical space serving our daily needs. The location, cost, and accessibility of these spaces are key factors in ensuring people can remain in their homes throughout their lifetimes.
