Sustainability Toolkit -
The Sustainability Took Kit was developed to educate coalition members about key elements
for success to sustain community initiatives. There are eight elements that constitute the
sustainability framework which are critical for achieving a stable base of resources that,
in turn, can help lead to long-term sustainability of community initiatives. The eight elements
in the tool kit are: vision for coalitions, key champions, broad community support, strong
internal systems, justify the need, strategic financing, adaptability to changing conditions,
and the sustainability plan.
Also, the Tool Kit provides a section on implementing the Network of Employers for Traffic
Safety (NETS) with your coalition activities. For more information, contact Terri Miller at
tlmiller@ag.tamu.edu or 979/845-1804.
