Transforming Transportation
We’re working for smart, climate-friendly transportation.
We’re working for smart, climate-friendly transportation.
We help to create affordable neighborhood housing developments close to open space, healthy food, and public transit. We push for a strong, local food economy regionwide. And we work to make sure people and communities can bounce back from the extreme weather climate change is already bringing to our neighborhoods.
What does it take for a community to thrive? It starts with clean air and clean water and access to good jobs, education, and health care. It also takes safe and affordable transportation choices, local green spaces, and easy access to fresh, healthy food.
Every year, more consumers and businesses in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic region are plugging in their cars to run on electricity and avoid the gasoline pump. The result is a win-win for people and the environment.
Cars, trucks, and buses are the largest and fastest-growing contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, states are struggling to maintain public transit infrastructure, highways, and bridges in the face of scant funding and skyrocketing costs. These problems, though far-reaching, have solutions, though finding them will take investment, political will, and tenacity.
