Research Synthesis and Resource Clearinghouse!
Research Synthesis and Resource Clearinghouse!
This open-access platform gives you the evidence and insight you need to meet your climate, health, and equity goals.
The evidence you need to evaluate and prioritize transportation investments is scattered, time-consuming to find, and difficult to digest. Streetsmart does all the work of synthesizing the research and presenting it an intuitive and easy-to-use format, without compromising quality or rigor.
Making the case for solutions that work best for your community sometimes requires defending innovation. Streetsmart reduces risk by providing the evidence and examples of what works in other communities.
Find success stories with key lessons learned in one easy-to-search place. Why re-invent the wheel? Streetsmart offers insight via guides, case studies, and fact sheets relevant to each topic area. Learn from others working on issues similar to yours.
