MISSION
Transit for Livable Communities is a non-profit organization that works to
improve the quality of life in Minnesota communities through
a balanced transportation system that encourages transit, walking, biking, and transit-oriented development. Transit for Livable Communities was founded in 1996 and is funded through private donations and foundation grants.
OUR WORK
- Conduct research that documents the real costs and benefits of our transportation system.
- Testify at the state legislature and participate in national and local policy discussions.
- Serve as a resource to provide information to the public, the media, legislators, and institutions so they can advocate for greater transportation choices.
- Organize and mobilize bus riders and transit supporters so their voices are heard when decisions are made.
- Give presentations and educate officials and community leaders on the benefits of transit, transit-oriented development, and the link between land use and transportation.
- We are non-profit and non-partisan.
