Why We Do What We Do
Washington, DC, like many urban areas, faces significant challenges in providing equitable transportation options to all its residents. Historical infrastructure decisions have left many neighborhoods, particularly in Wards 7 and 8, underserved by public transit. This lack of accessible transportation creates barriers to employment, education, healthcare, and other essential services for thousands of DC residents.We at Friends of DC Streetcar are committed to changing this narrative. We envision a future where every DC resident, regardless of their neighborhood or socioeconomic status, has access to reliable, efficient, and affordable public transportation. The expansion of the DC Streetcar system is a crucial step towards realizing this vision.
Please help us continue our advocacy efforts by donating to our organization.
