Our Vision
A city where anybody can:
- Safely and efficiently walk, cycle, take public transit, or use other sustainable and less costly modes of transportation,
- Have a say, through democratic and transparent processes, in how the city and streets are designed and funded, and

We achieve our mission through information and engagement with members and the public, influencing policies and decision-making related to transportation and land use design, and monitoring transportation policies and plans and their implementation.
