Frequently Asked Questions

  • Membership is for anyone that believes New York City can be a better place! Join our community of yay-sayers, helping build streets that are safe, accessible and equitable for every New Yorker.

  • We think everyone that wants to support a better New York City should get the benefits of becoming a member. That’s why we changed our membership structure so that no matter what you give, you’re a member of Transportation Alternatives. Think of admission at the Met, or Radiohead’s 2008 release of In Rainbows. No catch!

  • No catch! Just a hearty “Thank You!” for supporting our work, and hope that you’ll continue to do so as we bring safe, equitable streets to communities like yoursacross New York City.

  • When you make a membership commitment to TA, either once or as a recurring gift, you tell the world that our shared mission for the future of New York City is important.

    Individual contributions from people like you make up over 60 percent of our budget, and give us a flexible, unrestricted path to advocate for the things we know make New York City a better place.

    Membership also helps us demonstrate our grassroots strength, secure grants, and connect you to the best resources to changing our city.
