A lot has changed since NAR's first Transportation Toolkit was published in 2004. The National Association of Realtors® believes that transportation is a vitally important issue to communities and to the real estate industry, and is committed to keeping its members updated on the new challenges, issues and concepts in the field. In addition to a breadth of new and updated topics, we have included a glossary of transportation terms, FAQs, and NAR’s official statement of policy. We hope you will find it informative and useful for advocacy in your own community.
