Our Approach: Advocacy, Community Organizing, Research

 

 

Transit for Livable Communities links grassroots action with both short and long-term policy reform efforts. We educate key audiences, testify on transportation issues, monitor transportation news and trends, communicate with journalists, and team up with allies to achieve our shared goal: a balanced transportation system that encourages transit, walking, biking, and transit oriented development.

Advocacy

Transit for Livable Communities is the leading voice for transportation reform in Minnesota. Our staff testifies before the Minnesota state legislature and other elected officials, provides key information at local and regional conferences, and serves as a trusted resource for media around the country.

Community Organizing

Transportation should serve communities, and communities should have a strong voice in transportation decisions. Through our organizing work, TLC works closely with people across the region, connecting them to opportunities to take action on transit, walking, bicycling, and development in their communities. Transit for Livable Communities also issues action alerts and updates to thousands of dedicated e-activists across Minnesota.

Research

Transit for Livable Communities’ staff are experts in their fields. Our policy briefs have helped a decade’s worth of legislators learn more about everything from road subsidies to transit developments in peer regions. Our reports provide solid backround and recommendations for building a transportation system that serves all Minnesotans.
