Welcome to the TEAM TRANSIT Action Center!
While you do have choices in how you get around - you can walk, bike, carpool, bus, or even train in some places; you know there are still problems with transit service. Many people who could ride don't ride because the buses don't come often enough, or it takes too long, or there are too many transfers. We're grateful for the transit service we have, but there's still a need for more service that is fast and reliable.

It's Time for Action!
To work effectively for improved transit service and a whole host of improved transportation options, your involvement is critical. We just can't count on our State Legislators, County Councilmembers, Transportation Commissioners and others who make decisions about transportation to do the right thing, if they aren't hearing from members of their community! Here are some different ways you can get involved to help make better transportation choices in Washington a reality...

Become a member of Transportation Choices Coalition today. Members are crucial to our work - they help expand and strengthen our grassroots reach and power to affect change.

Attend a Transportation 101. This is a fun educational opportunity we're offering to businesses, community groups, church groups, etc. It's a back-to-basics look at transportation and it how it all works in Washington. We answer such burning questions as...

  • What transportation projects will I be voting on in 2007 and 2008?
  • Is Metro going to put more buses on the streets anytime soon? What about that light rail to the airport?
  • Why is Tim Eyman running another anti-transit initiative, and what would it do?
  • How can I get involved in the process?

We post upcoming sessions right here on this page, but you can also schedule a Transportation 101 for your group or workplace. No group is too large or small! To schedule a Transportation 101 or ask questions, contact our Field Director our Field Director Shefali Ranganathan at 206-329-2336 or via email.
