| Abstract | President Clinton established the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) by Executive Order on November 23, 1993. This cabinet-level council is the principal means for the President to coordinate science, space, and technology policies across the Federal Government. Through its planning activities in 1997, the NSTC Committee on Transportation Research and Development (CTRD) has called for the development of Strategic Partnership Initiatives in a number of areas, including sustainable transportation. An interagency Transportation and Sustainable Communities Team has been formed to develop plans for research investments in this area. This Overview represents the first step in what must, given the complexity of the topic, be an evolutionary process to coordinate Federal research activities related to transportation and sustainable communities, and to identify and realize new opportunities for partnerships on multiple levels. |
