Equity Caucus
The Equity Caucus at Transportation for America — formed by the nation’s leading civil rights, community development, racial justice, economic justice, faith-based, health, housing, labor, environmental justice, tribal, public interest, women’s groups and transportation organizations — drives transportation policies that advance economic and social equity in America.
Transportation is a critical link to opportunity — connecting us to jobs, schools, housing, health care, and grocery stores. But millions of poor people and people of color live in communities where quality transportation options are unaffordable, unreliable, or nonexistent. It does not have to be this way.
We must chart a new course for our nation through transportation investments that ensure all people can participate and prosper.
We need your help to realize this vision! Sign the Equity Pledge
