For over 100 years, RPA has developed and promoted ideas to improve quality of life in the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan region.
About us
Regional Plan Association is an independent, non-profit civic organization that develops and promotes ideas to improve the economic health, environmental resiliency, and quality of life of the New York metropolitan area. We conduct research on transportation, land use, housing, good governance, and the environment, and advise cities, communities, and public agencies. Some of the region’s most significant public works, economic development and open space projects have their roots in RPA ideas and initiatives, from the location of the George Washington Bridge to the revitalization of downtown Brooklyn, Stamford, and Newark to the preservation of open space and development of parks in the Palisades, Governors Island and Gateway National Recreation Area. RPA has pursued these goals by conducting independent research, planning, advocacy and vigorous public-engagement efforts. Every year, leaders and professionals from government, business, and civic groups debate the region’s most pressing challenges at RPA’s spring conference, the Assembly. A cornerstone of our work is the development of long-range plans and policies to guide the region’s growth. Since the 1920s, RPA has produced four landmark plans for the region. The most recent was released in November 2017.

It's been 23 years since New Yorkers and the world experienced the events of September 11, 2001. Shortly after 9/11, RPA came together with NYU Wagner, The New School, and America Speaks (via the Civil Alliance to Rebuild Downtown New York) for Listening to the City, a convening of more than 600 concerned citizens, civic leaders and public officials from throughout the metropolitan region to envision how we should rebuild and remember. Among the issues debated, participants were asked to discuss what 9/11 memorial should look like. One participant wrote that, for a memorial, "the essential message is that we have suffered losses but we survive these events and we go on."

The invention of the Wiffle ball in CT is now state lore. But the story — underpinned by stable housing, accessible transportation, and reliable utilities — also shows how we can create an abundant future for Connecticut. Peter Harrison writes in Connecticut Mirror: https://lnkd.in/enhuFnu9

The Long Island Railroad is seeing a boost in ridership, outpacing other regional transit. That's not a coincidence — the LIRR is also the only transit service "that has added major new services in the last few years," RPA's Chris Jones told Newsday Media Group. What's more interesting is that the largest growth for LIRR is outside of traditional rush hour commuters.
LIRR ridership rebounds 17% in first 6 months, outpacing other transit
