The London Transit Riders Alliance will aim to support, improve, and increase public transit use in London. The specific projects and activities that we undertake will be guided by a board of citizens, and implemented in collaboration with community partners wherever possible. For now, a brief overview of some of the key goals of the LTRA:

• 

  STRENGTHEN THE VOICE OF RIDERS

  Transit affects everyone. So there are many competing opinions at every decision point, and transit riders deserve as strong a voice as others. We'll keep riders aware of opportunities to have a say, and help bring their concerns and suggestions to both the LTC and the City of London.

   
• 

  BUST THE STIGMA OF RIDERSHIP

  Even though public transit use has many benefits, a lot of Londoners still think it's only useful when people don't have a "better" way to travel. We'll work to demonstrate why transit is the mode of choice for many Londoners with options, and encourage more people to make that choice.

   
• 

  BUILD COMMUNITY AMONG RIDERS

  We spend a lot of time together, but don't usually feel very connected, do we? There are car clubs, cycling organizations, and walking groups. Riders can build community, too, and make public transit a more inviting, safe, and comfortable place.
