50 YEARS OF TRANSFORMING NYC STREETS
For 50 years, we’ve fought every day for better walking, biking, public transit, and public spaces in our city, becoming global leaders in the fight for safe streets. We’ve brought an inclusive, intersectional organizing approach because we know our streets have the potential to create opportunities of all kinds: safer, better-connected neighborhoods, cleaner air, more equitable communities, and more economic prosperity.
Now we look to the future to redefine what’s possible.
These streets are ours — imagine what they can become in the next 50 years.
As we celebrate five decades of TA, we invite you to join us for special events, celebrations, and to learn more about how you can make New York City the best place to walk, bike, take transit, gather, and thrive.
“Transportation Alternatives was created from a dream of a more human and humane environment. It is a dream which continually proves to make more sense and thus deserves being followed and realized.”

Pay-What-You-Can Membership
We want to have an even bigger impact on New York City’s streets in the next 50 years, and financial commitment shouldn’t be a barrier to joining the fight.
Our membership program has moved to a pay-what-you-wish system, where any amount you give makes you a TA member and gives you access to benefits like our new monthly membership newsletter with an inside look at TA plus access to events and resources to help build a better New York City.
We’re also revamping the membership benefits to include offerings for everyone — people who walk, bike, take public transportation, and more. In addition, you’ll get access to our member-only events and discounted tickets to our Vision Zero Cities conference, bike tours, and Streets for People Party. Learn more about our new membership program at TA.
