Citizens from every walk of life want a more balanced, cost effective transportation system in the Twin Cities region.

State and regional government must reform our inflexible and outdated transportation funding system, so that Minnesotans have real choices. They should set ambitious transportation goals, use incentives to foster progress, and measure results.
Local governments must make investments and encourage development that gives people the option of leaving the car at home for some trips. They should make communities safe and convenient for transit use, walking, and bicycling.

Employers can offer employees and customers a range of commute incentives that will reduce parking costs and traffic snarls.
Citizens can educate and lobby elected and appointed representatives, urging them to think in terms of the complete range of options in land-use and transportation decisions.

The Citizens’ Agenda calls for bold leadership on building the transportation system we need for today and tomorrow.
