15 Groups Receive APTA Grants
APTA has announced the most recent recipients of its Local Coalition Grant Program, an initiative that supports and energizes grassroots public transportation coalitions through education and advocacy efforts.
APTA administers the program in conjunction with the National Alliance for Public Transportation Advocates (NAPTA), an APTA-affiliated national organization representing grassroots public transit coalitions. APTA received more than 40 applications, and granted $80,000--funded through the Research, Communications, and Advocacy (RCA) program--to the following 15 transit-oriented grassroots organizations:
Alaska Mobility Coalition, Anchorage; Bay Area Council, San Francisco; Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, Baltimore; Citizens for Modern Transit, St. Louis; Connect4Prosperity, Detroit; Hampton Roads Public Transportation Alliance, Norfolk, VA; Indiana Citizens’ Alliance for Transit, Indianapolis; Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance, Kansas City, MO; Modern Transit Partnership, Harrisburg, PA; Monterey County Mobility Coalition, Marina, CA; Movability Austin, Austin, TX; Partnership for Southern Equity, Atlanta; Reconnect Rochester, Inc., Rochester, NY; South Central Regional Transit District, Las Cruces, NM; and Transportation for Massachusetts, Boston.
“I was extremely impressed by the caliber of the applications that APTA received this year,” said NAPTA Chair Marnie Primmer. “Our grant recipients will be making a huge impact in their communities thanks to APTA’s generosity.”
APTA has supported grassroots advocacy through the Local Coalition Grant Program since 2003.
To learn more about the grant program and NAPTA, attend the NAPTA meeting at Rail~Volution, Sept. 21-24, Minneapolis-St. Paul.
