Our mission is to inform the Austin metro community about the benefits of an accessible regional public transit system and to advance the implementation of transit-supportive programs and policies.

Transit Forward is a separate, independent organization that works with area agencies to educate, engage and provide accountability for the development of Project Connect, a world-class transit system for a world-class city. The two main agencies that we are proud to partner with are Capital Metro and the Austin Transit Partnership.

About Us

Transit Forward works to inform and engage a coalition of transit supporters and the community at-large in order to champion the benefits of a regional public transit system.

We believe that robust public transit plays a vital role in building a more equitable, sustainable and dynamic Central Texas region.

We mobilize transit supporters through engagement activities, events and other opportunities for public input to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery of voter-approved transit projects.
