The Transportation Land-Use Connections (TLC) Program, established by the TPB in 2007, provides short-term consultant services to local jurisdictions for small planning projects that promote mixed-use, walkable communities and support a variety of transportation alternatives. The program offers consultant assistance up to $80,000 for planning projects and up to $100,000 for design or preliminary engineering projects. Since 2007, TLC has funded 191 planning projects, totaling more than $9.2 million in local technical assistance.
