Premier Advocate for Transit
To sustain the great places of Colorado we need a balanced multi-modal transportation system that provides for the growing needs of our rapidly changing society.

With the successful passage of FasTracks, the majority of Coloradoans now turn to face a growing population that wants more transportation choices.

Transit Alliance and its partners believe that a statewide multi-modal transportation system is the essential element that our state needs to maintain the quality of life that Colorado is famous for.

Building Consensus
Transit Alliance, working in partnership with government, business and civic groups, believes people should be the first consideration in evaluating our transportation choices.

The history of the Transit Alliance spans almost nine years of educating Metro Denver citizens about the need and benefits of a balanced transportation system. Among our greatest accomplishments is the passage of the FasTracks initiative, Metro Denver’s 12 year infrastructure plan that will witness light rail, commuter rail, bus-rapid transit and improved suburb-to-suburb bus connections spreading across our region like a spider web.

Throughout our brief history we have challenged leaders, stakeholders and citizens to understand lessons learned from other cities across the country and around the globe. Our mission has always been one of providing education that goes beyond the ballot box, helping citizens understand the community and health benefits inherent in a multi-modal metro-wide transit system.
