Transportation justice means building a system that serves people, not profit. Right now, highways tear through frontline neighborhoods, public transit is underfunded, and streets are unsafe for anyone not in a car. Frontline communities are punished with long commutes, toxic air, and rising costs, while the wealthy enjoy comfort and choice.

People of color, rural, and low-income communities are more likely to struggle to afford a car in areas that depend on driving. They’re also more likely to rely on public transit, and walk or bike out of necessity. If we don’t put these communities first in our solutions, they'll fall even further behind.

A Just Transition means funding affordable, accessible, clean transit that connects people to jobs, health care, schools, and each other. It means safe sidewalks and bike lanes, not more freeways. It means shifting resources away from oil and cars and into clean, community-owned systems that don’t leave anyone behind.
