  • Complete Streets: Best Policy and Implementation Best Practices - This Planners Advisory Service report, a joint project of the American Planning Association and the National Complete Streets Coalition, draws on lessons learned from 30 communities across the country. The report provides insight into successful strategies and practices to create complete streets, including how to build support for complete streets, adopt policies, and integrate the policy into everyday practice. Co-edited by Barbara McCann and Suzanne Rynne, with chapters written by Coalition staffer Stefanie Seskin, it also covers topics such as cost, design, and working with stakeholders.
  • Complete Streets: Best Policy and Implementation Best Practices — Chapter 5: Making the Transition (.pdf) - This chapter from the Best Practices report covers how communities make the transition from traditional, automobile-based transportation planning to a more inclusive and multimodal process through the four key steps for successful implementation: 1) Restructure procedures to accommodate all users on every project; 2) Develop new design policies and guides; 3) Offer workshops and other training opportunities to planners and engineers; and 4) Institute better ways to measure performance and collect data on how well the streets are serving all users.
