Welcome to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Livable Communities webpage. This webpage is intended to provide information on the FHWA Livability Initiative as well as provide updates on the HUD/DOT/EPA Partnership for Sustainable Communities.
I am honored to be a part of the most exciting time in the history of American highways. I will work to continue improving the relationship between infrastructure and community needs, specifically to improve a community's 'livability,' to enhance the environmental sensitivity of roads and bridges and to help states explore multi-modal transportation options. There is much work ahead of us, but I look forward to it. Our mission is to bring you the highway system you deserve, and I welcome the challenge.
Victor Mendez, Federal Highway Administrator
