Summary:Metropolitan planning organizations (see http://www.ampo.org and http://terraims.com/gallery/ampo/ampo_map.php) are representative U.S. organizations that help urbanized areas (which usually have multiple local governments) plan for, obtain, and divide federal transportation funding. Others include porous pavement, which reduces stormwater runoff (http://www.mapc.org/regional_planning/LID/permeable _paving.html); alternative septic systems, such as composting toilets (http://www.mass.gov/dep/water/wastewater/comptoi .doc); and better yard management practices, such as using integrated pest management for lawn care (http://www.nysipm .cornell.edu/landscapes), planting native species in landscaping (http://www.newfs.org/nps.htm), and establishing wildlife habitat around the home (http://www.nwf.org/backyard).
