Transportation Advocacy & Non-Profit Groups
- Tri-State Transportation Campaign
www.tstc.org/
The Tri-State Transportation Campaign, working in the NY/NJ/CT metropolitan
area, was formed as a response to mounting economic and environmental costs
of automobile and truck dependence, including the destruction of open space
by highway-driven sprawl development. Their weekly newsletter, Mobilizing
the Region (http://www.tstc.org/bulletin/), is a wonderful source of regional
transportation news.
- Transportation Alternatives
www.transalt.org/
Transportation Alternatives is a non-profit citizens group working for
better bicycling, walking, public transit, and fewer cars. They work for
safer, calmer neighborhood streets and car-free parks.
- Northeast Sustainable Energy Association
www.nesea.org
NESEA is interested in bringing clean electricity, green transportation,
and healthy, efficient buildings into everyday use.
- Natural Resources Defense Council
www.nrdc.org/air/transportation/default.asp
NRDC's "earthsmartcars" campaign aims to harness the power of
consumers and the latest technologies to put cleaner cars on the road.
They advocate at both the national and state levels for strict laws and
regulations governing vehicle pollution and promote public transportation
and the growth of neighborhoods where people can walk and bike to work.
- Environmental Defense
www.environmentaldefense.org/home.cfm
Through its program areas (among which transportation is one), Environmental
Defense brings together experts in science, law and economics to tackle
complex environmental issues that affect our oceans, our air, our natural
resources, the livability of our man-made environment, and the species
with whom we share our world. ED's "Tailpipe Tally" website (www.environmentaldefense.org/system/templates/page/focus.cfm?focus=3)
lets you calculate how much your vehicle pollutes.
- American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
www.aceee.org/
ACEEE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing energy efficiency
as a means of promoting both economic prosperity and environmental protection.
Their Green Guide to Cars and Trucks (http://greenercars.com/) is a great
ranking of cars and trucks according to environmental friendliness.
- Transportation Action Network (TransAct)
www.transact.org/
TransAct's goal is to provide information and resources for people working
to make their communities better places to live. Features include case
studies, the Smart Growth Toolkit, and a gallery of "Wheels of Dreams."
