On June 2, EPA Region 3 kicked-off the Mid-Atlantic Green Highways Initiative with an executive level planning charrette, attended by a diverse group of government and private sector leaders and innovators.

The group, which included federal and state transportation and environmental executives, as well as representatives and leaders in non-profit groups, trade organizations, and private consultants, came together to develop the vision, scope and definition of the Green Highways or "Sustainable Transportation" Initiative.

A Mid-Atlantic Green Highways Forum is to be held September 26-29, in College Park, Md.
