ABOUT NACTO
NACTO is an association of 92 major North American cities and transit agencies formed to exchange transportation ideas, insights, and practices to cooperatively approach national transportation issues.
NACTO’s mission is to build cities as places for people, with safe, sustainable, accessible, and equitable transportation choices that support a strong economy and vibrant quality of life. We do this by:
- Building the Movement: Communicating a bold vision for 21st century urban mobility and building strong leadership capacity among city transportation officials.
- Advancing a Unified City Voice: Empowering a coalition of cities to lead the way on transportation policy at the local, state, and national levels.
- Accelerating Change: Raising the state of the practice for street design that prioritizes people walking, biking, and taking transit.
