What is the Livable Streets Alliance?
December 17, 2008
LivableStreets Alliance is a non-profit organization formed in July, 2005 that believes urban transportation has the power to make Boston a more connected, livable city. They challenge people to think differently and to demand a system that balances transit, walking, and biking with automobiles. They promote safe, convenient, and affordable transportation for all users in urban Boston. Streets that are enjoyable to use will better support neighborhoods and small business districts. They:
Inspire a vision by sharing innovative transportation ideas from around the world and encouraging governments, communities, and the public to think about the crucial role that transportation plays in vibrant urban life.
Build partnerships with other advocacy groups, providing resources, tools, and support that help them collaborate effectively and speak with a more powerful voice.
Empower Communities, providing practical knowledge that helps them envision better transportation and take charge of their neighborhoods.
Create change in the way government approaches projects, improving results. We build consensus for balanced, actionable transportation plans that result in more livable streets.
