Below are just a few of the testimonials to TALC's effectiveness in bringing diverse interests together to improve life in the nine-county Bay Area:

"The Coalition is the powerhouse that is bringing alternative transportation and smart growth planning to the forefront of Bay Area politics and practices."
- Debbie Hubsmith, Marin County Bicycle Coalition

"Equity must be a centerpiece of public policy. The Coalition is an effective way for equity advocates, grassroots organizations, environmentalists and researchers to work together to promote the principles of social justice."
- Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, Working Partnerships
"We’re part of the Coalition because its policies make sense and because none of us can solve these problems alone."
- Charlie Betcher, Bus Riders Union
"The Coalition has been instrumental in bringing about transportation equity for low-income communities and communities of color in the Bay Area. These efforts have been very effective in assisting those individuals transitioning from welfare to work."
