David Brower, Land Conservationist
“We do not inherit
the land from our
fathers, we
borrow it from our
children.”
Q. What “club” did he start?

EPA’s Sustainability Definition
Sustainability means “meeting the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.”

FHWA Livability: Definition
• The Livable Communities Initiative: Provides
transportation choices that promote place-
based transportation policies that are centered
on people
• Livable Communities: Encourages mixed-use,
multi-modal neighborhoods with highly-
connected streets promoting mobility for all
users

Climate Change & Adaptation
Our Role in Climate Change:
• FHWA is committed to improving transportation mobility and safety while protecting the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and preparing for climate change effects on the transportation system.
• FHWA is actively involved in efforts to initiate, collect, and disseminate climate-change-related research and to provide technical assistance to stakeholders.
• FHWA is also involved in climate change initiatives with the U.S. DOT Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting and other partners.

Sustainability - FHWA Definition
• Sustainable Transportation means providing
exceptional mobility and access in a manner that
meets development needs without compromising
the quality of life of future generations. A
sustainable transportation system is safe, healthy,
affordable, renewable, operates fairly and limits
emissions and the use of new and nonrenewable
resources.

Triple Bottom Line
What is FHWA’s role in:
• Economic development: Ensure that the financial and economic needs of current and future
generations are met.
• Environmental stewardship: Ensure a clean environment for current and future generations and
use resources sparingly.
• Social equity:Improve the quality of life for all people and
promote equity between societies, groups,
and generations.
