About us

GoBRT.org is dedicated to advancing sustainable transportation options in the United States. We strive to improve the accessibility, affordability, and efficiency of buses and rapid transit systems in urban and suburban areas, with the ultimate goal of reducing dependence on personal vehicles and mitigating the negative impacts of transportation on the environment.

We believe that buses and rapid transit systems are integral components of a healthy, sustainable, and equitable transportation system. They provide affordable, reliable, and convenient transportation options for people of all ages, abilities, and income levels. We also recognize that buses and rapid transit systems can play a vital role in reducing air pollution, reducing traffic congestion, and promoting economic development in communities.

To achieve our mission, we work to raise awareness about the benefits of buses and rapid transit systems, and to advocate for policies and funding that support their expansion and improvement. We also collaborate with other organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners to promote and implement sustainable transportation solutions.

We are committed to working with communities to ensure that transportation systems are designed to meet the needs of everyone, including people with disabilities, older adults, and low-income households. We also support efforts to increase the availability of safe, affordable, and convenient transportation options in low-income and marginalized communities, which are often underserved by existing transportation systems.

In addition to our advocacy work, we also provide resources and technical assistance to communities and organizations working to expand and improve bus and rapid transit systems. We work to provide information about best practices, funding opportunities, and other resources that can help communities develop sustainable transportation solutions.

We also conducts research and collects data on the effectiveness of buses and rapid transit systems, with the goal of identifying opportunities for improvement and informing policy and funding decisions. We believe that data-driven decision-making is essential to ensuring that transportation systems are designed to meet the needs of all users and to achieve our mission of promoting sustainable transportation options.
