Transportation Alternatives

Transportation Alternatives promotes walking, biking, and transit in a city where gridlock and noise often take center stage. Working across outer-borough neighborhoods and Manhattan alike, it champions ideas like congestion pricing, better bike lanes, and speedier buses. Sidewalks, protected paths, and bus rapid transit pop up—and the group cheers those wins. Bus riders, commuter cyclists, and street-safety volunteers gather at events large and small. Between City Hall and the Financial District, the office sits at 111 John St #260. A five-minute walk from the 4/5 at Bowling Green or the 2/3 at Wall St., it’s an easy stop for anyone cruising Downtown. Maps can save the last mile if you’re coming from Midtown or Brooklyn; just plug in the address and go. Talk policy, sign petitions, or join a ride-along—there’s always a way to plug in. After team meetings or a quick sidewalk chat, the group keeps pushing for fewer cars and more choices. Down here, the streets are loud by default, so fresh ideas travel fast. Find the exact door and step inside, or call (212) 629-8080 to get involved.
