Open Restaurants and Open Streets programs have transformed New York City's streetscape — but their future is far from guaranteed. TSTC works to ensure these programs are accessible to all New Yorkers, equitably distributed across neighborhoods, and built on a sustainable, community-driven foundation for the long term.

The Bus Turnaround Coalition is a diverse group of New York organizations determined to turn around the poor service that plagues New York City's bus system — the most-used but most-neglected part of the transit network, with over 2 million rides taken every weekday. We're fighting for high-quality, fast, and reliable bus service for every neighborhood.

Fix Our Transit is a coalition of over 100 transportation, environmental, business, labor, clergy, public health and justice organizations that backed congestion pricing in Manhattan, south of 59th Street. Congestion pricing reduces traffic gridlock, cuts tailpipe emissions, and generates critical revenue for the MTA's capital program.

ElectrifyNY is a coalition of advocates for environmental justice, public transit, social justice, and good jobs, fighting for a clean, equitable electric transportation future for New York. Our work targets the communities most burdened by transportation-sector fossil fuel emissions — demanding accountability, investment, and faster electrification of buses and trucks.

Created in 2021 to give Westchester County bus riders a voice, the Bee-Line Bus Riders Council raises awareness about unreliable service, antiquated infrastructure, outdated routes, and the lack of modern passenger amenities. Westchester's bus system connects thousands of essential workers — it deserves better investment and accountability.

Our region's rail network is overly fragmented, forcing transfers and limiting the destinations people can reach. TSTC is building a coalition to advance a unified Regional Rail system — with frequent, all-day bidirectional service, accessible stations, and modern electric trains. The transformation of Penn Station is the linchpin of this vision.

Launched in 2018, the NJ Transit Bus Riders Council raises awareness about issues facing NJ Transit's bus riders — unreliable service, crumbling infrastructure, outdated routes, and the urgent need for modern amenities on buses and at stops. We amplify rider voices to hold NJ Transit accountable and push for the service improvements millions of New Jerseyans depend on.

TSTC launched this campaign in 2016 to develop a Model Complete Streets Policy that incorporates Green Streets and the full range of smart road design benefits: equity, health, safety, economy, and the environment. The policy development process brought together stakeholders from health, equity, environment, safety, government, and the private sector across New Jersey.

ElectrifyNJ is a statewide coalition fighting for a clean, equitable electric transportation future for New Jersey. Our work centers the communities most burdened by fossil fuel emissions from the transportation sector — demanding that the transition to zero-emission vehicles advance environmental justice, good jobs, and public health rather than sidelining already-overburdened neighborhoods.

The Vision Zero NJ Alliance unites families impacted by traffic crashes, community members, advocates, policymakers, transportation professionals, and public health experts around one goal: that every person in New Jersey should be able to travel safely — without risk of death or serious injury — no matter how or when they travel.

The Circuit Trails Coalition brings together nonprofits, foundations, and agencies across the Greater Philadelphia region to complete a connected network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. With nearly 800 miles planned across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, the Circuit will become one of the largest urban trail networks in the country — connecting communities, parks, and transit hubs.
