For thirty-four years, Mr. Toth worked for the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), and become known for his collaboration and facilitation skills, and was one of the architects of the transformation of NJDOT to a stakeholder inclusive process helping the state become a national leader in Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS).

Mr. Toth has written, "A Citizen's Guide to Better Streets," which is designed to help the everyperson and advocacy community better understand the behind-the-scenes processes that occur when dealing with transportation departments and how to better prepare and speak their language. He shares some of his views and advice with Aaron in this very important interview.
 
Neat vid....

I don't agree with Mr. Toth when he says "it took us 50 years to get here, and it will take us 50 years to get out" when referring to the urban sprawl mindstate...

To me, it seems like we are just going to keep building denser area's from the centre out to the burbs, with more of a focus on vertical development, and over time, these sprawl based communities will get sucked up by this new wave of pro-urban anti-sprawl development. at least one can only hope.
