I grew up about 45 miles outside of New York City. While my parents always worked within five minutes of our house, a lot of my friends’ parents commuted in to the city. Most took the train, but some drove, and one occasionally used a helicopter. It’s hard to move millions of people in and out of the city on a daily basis without cars, but not everybody has helicopters. The Tri-State Transportation Campaign is a New York, NY based “non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to reducing car dependency in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.” They have a tough job, but they’ve already been at for more than 20 years.

Join the Campaign

The societal cost of car use is extraordinary in the tri-state area. One of the most striking stats is that approximately 1,500 people lose their lives in traffic accidents every year in the region. Then you have the pollution. And then you have all of the time and money lost due to traffic. It all adds up to about $55 billion in annual costs. The Tri-State Transportation Campaign ” uses its unique technical, data, and policy analysis to marshal the talents of the region’s most effective environmental, planning, smart growth, and transportation policy organizations.” You can see the specific issues that The Campaign is working on here. If you’d like to join them, take a look at their posting for a Communications Assistant.
