Over the last 10 years, PPT's campaigns have improved our transit system.
We have expanded service to new neighborhoods, won campaigns for fare affordability, and increased funding to keep our systems on track. But even more so, our campaigns have also stood up to corporate, political, and institutional power to assert the power and knowledge that's within our communities. In the process, we have built relationships with thousands of people. These people have stepped up to help lead our organization and recruit the next advocate. |
But for all that we've won, the pandemic has raised the stakes. The battle for transit is bigger and more important than ever. |

| "We’ve organized and built power, but our service is in danger. I had to travel 2 miles in my wheelchair because 2 buses didn't show, and in June we're facing more cuts - with 61 of our 101 routes changing."
- Karen Smith, PPT Member & Disability Justice Advocate

| We've faced threats before - and we know that the way we win is through organizing and building power among everyday people. |
There is a place for you in this movement - whether you're a daily rider, a new neighbor, or a committed advocate. A strong, engaged membership is core to PPT's success. our content. |
