Transportation Alternatives (TA)

Your advocate for bicycling, walking and public transit

Über uns

Transportation Alternatives (TA) is New York City´s leading transportation advocacy organization, with a citywide network of 100,000 active supporters committed to reclaiming New York City´s streets for people by ensuring that every New Yorker has safe space to walk and bike and access to public transportation. Every day, all over the city, we´re working to make New York City´s neighborhoods safer and restore a vibrant culture of street life.
Our mission is to reclaim New York City´s streets from the automobile, and to advocate for bicycling, walking and public transit as the best transportation alternatives.

Transportation Alternatives is involved in every aspect of traveling around New York City. From bike routes and bus lanes to pedestrian crossings and play streets, we´re fighting for safer, smarter transportation and a healthier city. Since our founding in 1973 T.A. has helped New York City´s bicycling population grow exponentially and worked to dramatically reduce the number of pedestrians killed each year by dangerous drivers.

• Growing Bicycling

• NYC Streets Renaissance
