Activating a Coalition

The adaptive framework shared in this toolkit is based on Mpact:LAB’s work in collaborative problem solving, cross-sector coalition building, and fostering community-driven change in the realms of transportation and the built environment.

In 2023, Mpact partnered with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to support MOVE (Mobility, Opportunity, Voice, and Equity) Roundtable programs in four legacy cities: Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Philadelphia, Penn-sylvania; and Youngstown, Ohio. MOVE Roundtables, an offering of Mpact:LAB, provide six weeks of structured meetings with a group of stakeholders, examining a local priority issue through the MOVE lenses.

A companion toolkit Building a Coalition: The First Steps Toward Changing the Built Environment or Transportation in Your Community is also available.
