EPA and the Departments of Transportation (DOT) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced a new partnership to help American families gain better access to affordable housing, more transportation options, and lower transportation costs. Earlier this year, HUD and DOT announced an unprecedented agreement to implement joint housing and transportation initiatives. With EPA joining the partnership, the three agencies will work together to ensure that these housing and transportation goals are met while simultaneously protecting the environment, promoting equitable development, and helping to address the challenges of climate change.
