"Transportation policies are made every day
as people put their keys in the ignition. The independent variable is
not technology, but lifestyle. For transportation to change, the nature
of home, work and family has to change. There's no point in environmentalists
and transit advocates preaching to people about where they should live
and what form of transportation they should take. We'll continue to be
car- and personal mobility-dependent."
- Dr. Joseph Coughlin, Director, MIT Center for Transportation Studies.

About TLUC: Our Mission
 TLUC
is committed to significantly improving the quality of life for
people who live and work in Southern California by ensuring that
there is balance between growth, economic development and environmental
stewardship.
TLUC forges unique connections across issues and constituencies, and provides
education, outreach and advocacy on the importance of methodologies and policies
that are essential to realizing this balance.
We believe that, in order to accomplish this, both the public and policymakers
must be informed and engaged in the planning process. We believe that creating
and nurturing unusual partnerships across diverse interests are crucial to successfully
implementing this balance in Southern California.
