The site is a project of the Conservation Law Foundation, the New England region's leading environmental advocacy group. For one thing, this site lies at the cutting edge. It lets users post data, analysis and opinion right alongside a growing library of CLF reports, journal articles and thought pieces. It's a place where people can respond to what they find, or discuss a wide variety of related topics. In short, TLCNet lets users interact globally before they act locally.
Transportation has a profound impact on many pressing global and regional environmental issues.
At the local level, transportation policies and choices affect how we all live. Three interactive discussion groups on the site welcome questions and information requests, and they give you an opportunity to respond to the comments of others. For those interested in a more sustained discussion, TLCNet will sign you up for any of three email listserves on these topics. TLCNet offers key resource documents like Take Back Your Streets , a CLF guide about how to make local transportation systems better suited to the needs of community residents, including pedestrians and bicyclists. Many of these features are available nowhere else but on TLCNet web site.
