Our Mission:
To educate the Greater Phoenix community about the benefits of a well-designed and accessible mass transit system, which represents a major component of a balanced regional transportation plan.

Goals & Objectives:
In order to carry out the FRIENDS OF TRANSIT mission statement, below are the four primary goals and objectives of the organization.

  1. Educate the Greater Phoenix community about the importance of building the voter-approved Phoenix and Tempe projects in a timely manner that maintains the momentum of the respective elections.
  2. provide a ready source of credible information to rapidly counteract the ongoing negative misinformation propagated by groups opposed to transit.
  3. Mobilize a "grass-roots army" of fellow transit supporters to help carry out the goals and objectives of the organization.
