"Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere. We are
caught in an inescapable
network of mutuality, tied in a
single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one directly,
affects all indirectly."

The Transportation Equity Alliance of Marin (TEAM) is a working group created to
coordinate and strengthen transportation equity advocacy efforts in Marin.
Click here for the 2012 TEAM Calendar
TEAM is a member of regional and national transportation equity advocacy
networks, including the Transportation Equity Network (TEN) and the Transportation
Justice Working Group (TJWG).
We are organizing to demand that transportation policy be guided by the following
principles (shared by TJWG members):
1. Accessibility Transit systems must support the critical, day-today travel needs of
the “transit dependent” - people without reliable access to a car. Transit routes must
be reliable and well coordinated to allow for trips to school, work, shopping,
recreation and medical care.
2. Affordability Fares should not exceed what families can reasonably pay. Low-
income people should not have to spend staggering portions of their income on
transportation.
3. Health and Quality of Life Vehicles must be clean running to prevent toxics from
polluting our environment and poisoning our bodies. The space around our transit
hubs and stations should be designed to protect riders.
4. Public Participation Community members must have a meaningful voice in
decision making about how services can be improved and how dollars are spent.
5. Accountability Transportation planning and funding should reflect community
priorities. Transportation, land use and air quality agencies in the Bay Area should
collaborate with one another to achieve workable solutions that advance equity.
6. Fairness Low-income riders must receive an equal benefit from public transit
dollars as higher-income riders do. Subsidies should be targeted to those who are
least able to pay.
