Our Mission

Creating a quality regional transit system for a world-class city

 

The Regional Transit Alliance is unique in its efforts to expand, enhance and improve the mass transit landscape. Our research, education, advocacy, and communications bring a sense of urgency to develop a workable plan that earns the support of the region's voters and positions our region for successful State and Federal funding. Our central themes are:

1. To broaden public understanding of and build public consensus for seamless, multi-modal regional public transit. We are translators of the landscape on a region-wide basis.
2. To share research insights among decision makers and support innovative transit funding mechanisms. Decision Makers rely on us early and often for both our technical AND advisory capacities.
3. To advocate for transit, build case studies and assemble stories of people who depend on or would utilize more a regional transit system that would increase mobility, impact business market share, and positively influence the quality of life around broad community issues.

Mass transit plays a key role in supporting the economy, energy independence, and a cleaner environment. We must all work together to educate and inform our citizens about the benefits public transit offers our regional economy.
