Welcome to the TEAM TRANSIT Action Center!
While you do have choices in how you get around - you can walk, bike, carpool, bus, or even train in some places; you know there are still problems with transit service. Many people who could ride don't ride because the buses don't come often enough, or it takes too long, or there are too many transfers. We're grateful for the transit service we have, but there's still a need for more service that is fast and reliable.

It's Time for Action!
To work effectively for improved transit service and a whole host of improved transportation options, your involvement is critical. We just can't count on our State Legislators, County Councilmembers, Transportation Commissioners and others who make decisions about transportation to do the right thing, if they aren't hearing from members of their community! Here are some different ways you can get involved to help make better transportation choices in Washington a reality...

Become a member of Transportation Choices Coalition today. Members are crucial to our work - they help expand and strengthen our grassroots reach and power to affect change.

Attend a Transportation 101. This is a fun educational opportunity we're offering to businesses, community groups, church groups, etc. It's a back-to-basics look at how transportation impacts your health, your wallet and the environment and how you can make smart trasnportation choices that work for you! We answer such burning questions as...

• So what's transportation got to do with my health, my pocketbook and the environment?
  
• How can make smarter transportation choices in my life?
• What transportation projects will I be voting on in 2008?
• Is Metro going to put more buses on the streets anytime soon? What about that light rail to the airport?

You can schedule a Transportation 101 for your group or workplace. No group is too large or small! To schedule a Transportation 101 or ask questions, contact our Director of Education and Outreach Shefali Ranganathan at 206-329-2336 or via email.

Come to a Friday Forum. Transportation Choices offers free discussion and Q&A sessions on a variety of transportation topics for members and supporters.

Like to see your name in print? Submitting Letters to the Editor is an awesome way to let decision makers know you support transportation choices, and want them to as well.
