OUR MISSION

TransitMatters advances people-focused and data-driven solutions to advocate for better public transportation and mobility that provides access and opportunities for everyone across the Commonwealth, addresses climate change and inequality, and strengthens our economy.

OUR VISION

Making a sustainable, equitable, and reliable public transportation system accessible to everyone in Greater Boston and across the Commonwealth by advancing proven best practices as well as high-impact, cost-effective initiatives.

OUR GOALS

Create awareness amongst the general public of transportation mechanics, economics, and opportunities

  • First and foremost, our goal is to advocate through a better, more critical understanding of transit issues within the Commonwealth. Breaking apart issues into their components enables us to look deeper into challenges and benefits in a way that is accessible to the general public.

Provide education and analysis to equip citizens and leaders to make the best transportation decisions and investments

  • We aim to build institutional knowledge on transit within the Commonwealth to make it easier to understand transit projects, policies, and issues. Making these issues accessible to the general public and easily referenced enables more informed discourse.

Enable and empower grassroots public demand for better transportation ideas and investment decisions

  • Our institutional knowledge is also important to advocacy. By building resources for advocacy, we make it easier to advocate for transit and encourage more informed discourse on the issues at hand.
