Transportation Alternatives

Transportation Alternatives is a nonprofit organization headquartered in New York City. Founded with the mission of improving transportation options for New Yorkers, the organization advocates for safer and more accessible streets. Transportation Alternatives focuses on promoting bicycling, walking, and public transit as viable alternatives to private vehicle usage. Their efforts aim to reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and traffic-related accidents, ultimately creating a safer and healthier environment for all residents. The organization works directly with communities across all five boroughs, engaging citizens in advocacy campaigns, educational programs, and community-based initiatives. Transportation Alternatives believes that streets and sidewalks, comprising 80% of New York City's public space, should prioritize the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users.
