Transportation is a crucial link to ensuring opportunity for all — connecting us to jobs, schools, housing, health care, and grocery stores. But millions of people live in communities where quality transportation options are unaffordable, unreliable, or nonexistent.  Federal transportation policy choices — what we build, where we put it, who builds it, how we operate it, what energy powers it — have an enormous impact on our economy, our climate, and our health. We must invest in a manner that builds a nation where all people can participate and prosper.

The goal of the Transportation Equity Caucus (TEC) is to design strategic policies as a network of grassroots organizations who are all dedicated to advancing transportation equity and justice, while focusing on centering those with lived experiences of transportation inequities and those most adversely impacted from inequitable transportation decisions. The TEC emphasizes the power of local, community-driven leadership to address systemic inequities in transportation, which disproportionately affect communities of color.

If we are to create a transportation system that serves ALL, we must include everyone, especially the most marginalized groups in our movement. 

Goals and Outcomes:

1. Develop a long-term, strong, and cohesive movement focused on transportation equity and mobility justice
2. Coordinate an aligned transportation equity ecosystem around a shared vision for transportation equity and mobility justice
3. Organize and empower frontline and grassroots organizations to turn transportation equity priorities and principles to federal policies
