SCAG Announces The Sixth Annual Compass Blueprint Recognition Awards
SCAG is now accepting nominations for its Sixth Annual Compass Blueprint Recognition Awards. Last year's Recognition Awards Program was well received and we hope to build on this momentum and enjoy another memorable program this year. The Compass Blueprint Recognition Awards are presented annually in recognition of projects that demonstrate excellence and achievement in the four key elements of Compass Blueprint planning: Livability, Mobility, Prosperity, and Sustainability. Last year’s prestigious President’s Excellence Award went to the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Sustainable Transit Communities Program, and the America Fast Forward, 30/10 Plan.
This year’s Compass Blueprint Recognition Awards Program will be held April 4, 2012 in conjunction with the SCAG Regional Conference & General Assembly at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Los Angeles, CA. This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase an innovative project at SCAG’s General Assembly in front of an audience of over 700 members and interested stakeholders, including state and local elected officials, public and private sector CEOs, partner agency representatives, city managers, planning directors, and business, labor, community and environmental leaders. This year's event coincides with the planned adoption of the 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, so we think it gives award winners a tremendous opportunity to showcase their project/plan regionally and throughout the state.
