Public transportation can equalize opportunity for people to go to work, to seek training and education, obtain necessary medical care, shop and to remain independent.
Mobility is critical to full participation in a democratic society.
Community transportation is an essential public service without which millions of Americans would be shut off from the mainstream of community life. Community transportation focuses on the needs of people and responds with innovative and flexible services. Mission Statement CTAA is a national, professional membership association of organizations and individuals committed to removing barriers to isolation and to improving mobility for all people. CTAA conducts research, provides technical assistance, offers educational programs and serves as an advocate in order to make coordinated community transportation available, affordable and accessible. While the Holland Tunnel remains closed and traffic delays into Manhattan continue, many drivers are making the switch to mass transit.
