Central Texas public transit that is robust, equitable, sustainable and accessible for all.
Our mission is to inform the Austin metro community about the benefits of an accessible regional public transit system and to advance the implementation of transit-supportive programs and policies.
Transit Forward is a separate, independent organization that works with area agencies to educate, engage and provide accountability for the development of Project Connect, a world-class transit system for a world-class city. The two main agencies that we are proud to partner with are Capital Metro and the Austin Transit Partnership.
About Us
Transit Forward works to inform and engage a coalition of transit supporters and the community at-large in order to champion the benefits of a regional public transit system.
We believe that robust public transit plays a vital role in building a more equitable, sustainable and dynamic Central Texas region.
We mobilize transit supporters through engagement activities, events and other opportunities for public input to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery of voter-approved transit projects.
Our Goals
- Inform the community about transit-related topics, events and opportunities within Metro Austin
- Ensure that equity remains a focus during implementation and in perpetuity, prioritizing equitable access to transit throughout the community
- Insist on account and transparent execution of voter-approved transit projects
Our Goals (Cont.)
- Promote climate resiliency, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and a transit system that is constructed and operated in a sustainable manner
- Promote inter-department, intra-agency and inter-agency collaboration and efficiency
- Advance transit-supportive policies at all levels of government
