ULI Charlotte and USDOT LadderSTEP Program
April 27, 2015
To help build and restore connections, develop workforce capacity, and catalyze neighborhood revitalization, DOT is launching the Ladders of Opportunity Transportation Empowerment Pilot in seven U.S. cities. In March, ULI Charlotte worked with USDOT to convene a group to begin discussions around West Trade Street and the Gold Line.
LadderSTEP will provide technical assistance and work to attract public and private resources to game-changing community transportation projects. By bringing together mayors, other local officials, non-profit organizations, private investors, DOT will demonstrate that our Ladders Of Opportunity goals are well within reach of communities across America.
