Downtown On the Go envisions a vibrant, integrated community – where daily life is enhanced by connecting people, green spaces, arts & culture, and jobs. Transportation options that are safe, affordable, and accessible, reinforce an active community that is connected locally and regionally, promoting a focus on the movement and interactions of people rather than cars. Downtown On the Go’s purpose is to create a community where everyone can get around with or without a car. We are the transportation advocate for anyone whose life is in greater Tacoma. We do this by: Advocating for transportation equity for all, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance. Educating about transportation choices other than driving alone. Encouraging use of transit, ridesharing, biking, walking, and flexible work arrangements. Championing transportation choices and policies that promote community livability.
