Transportation and Land Use Coalition


The Transportation and Land Use Coalition is a non-profit organization which serves as a partnership of over 100 organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area focused on smart growth, public transportation, environmental causes, and other issues connected with transit and urban planning. TALC was founded in 1997, and is based in Oakland, California. A year after its founding, TALC's involvement in public-transportation advocacy was cited as part of a shift toward public support for increasing funding for buses, trains, and bike paths.
TALC member groups include regional and national organizations such as the Greenbelt Alliance, the Sierra Club, in addition to a wide range of local groups throughout the Bay Area.
TALC has advocated for a number of transit-related projects and ballot measures since its inception. Examples of such projects include:
In 2008, the Transportation and Land Use Coalition was renamed TransForm.
