About Us
We are a team of individuals driven by a passion for transportation as it intersects with reparative and environmental justice.
OUR MISSION
We work to put people first in transportation.
Our Streets works to lead the nation in putting people first by transforming transportation and infrastructure in the Twin Cities, the metro region and the state of Minnesota. We do this by making our streets places where people can easily and comfortably walk, bike, roll, and use public transit.
