Our Mission
Our mission is to advocate for the DC Streetcar system and its expansion as a means to promote transportation equity across all neighborhoods, bridging all portions of DC together. Transportation equity is a core principal of our organization -- the streetcar system and it's expansion is a way to bridge the east-west transit divide in the District to create a more inclusive and united city.
Our Vision
Our vision at DC Streetcar is to provide more economic opportunity and development in some of our most underserved neighborhoods through transportation equity.
We know that for transportation equity to be profitable and feasible it has to be inclusive and accessible to all residents. And so to that end we at DC Streetcar also believe that any economic development supported by the streetcar should be inclusive of all incomes and should incorporate community driven visions and the needs of existing residents.
Why Does It Matter?
Public transportation is a shared public benefit operating on the principle of transportation equity. As such, it can only function when it is shared with all neighborhoods. Currently many neighborhoods in the District are cut off from the city due to poor public transportation and physical infrastructure that divides us instead of uniting us.
