Know Now with APA's Planning Advisory Service

PAS gives you the power to know now. When you subscribe to PAS, you join a nationwide community of planners. As a subscriber, you'll share ideas and benefit from other subscribers' innovative solutions through web resources, publications, and direct contact with PAS researchers. One day you might submit a project as an example for a PAS Report, the next you might receive sample ordinances and regulations from the Inquiry Answer Service. No matter your particular need, you'll be connected to some of the most innovative planners working today: your fellow PAS subscribers. And those connections will keep you in the vanguard of the planning movement.

PAS is your on-call team of specialists and researchers. PAS researchers stay connected with innovators and keep up with new research. They're one step ahead of the trends. PAS researchers answer thousands of questions a year and devote hundreds of hours to mastering the Internet and other information sources. They know where to find the right information — and, more importantly, how to determine which information is right for your community or project.

PAS for Non-Subscribers
PAS understands that an annual subscription may not always be practical for your organization. We offer a fee-for-service option to non-subscribers who wish to access the Inquiry Answer Service. Learn more about PAS for Non-Subscribers.

PAS for the Academic Community
Although college and university libraries may subscribe to PAS for publications and access to selected online subscriber-only enhancements, the Inquiry Answer Service is not available to academics or students. Essential PAS InfoPackets may be ordered, but are not included with library subscriptions. We encourage the academic community to take advantage of the resources available through the APA Library, APA Research, and APA's PlanningBooks.com.
