She will start with an overview of this new credit category and then take a closer look at some of the credits and how to achieve them. Discussion will include: credit options, cost implications, and tips for documenting credits. In the second half of this session, Alyson Fletcher will discuss designing communities that balance the needs of those who walk, bike, take transit and drive.
