ANNUAL REPORT2008–2009
Mission and VisionTransit for Livable Communities is a nonpartisan,
nonprofit organization working to reform
Minnesota’s transportation system. Through
advocacy, education, community organizing, and
research, we promote a balanced transportation
system that encourages transit, walking, bicycling,
and thoughtful development.
We start with sound research and analysis.
We then work with residents, policymakers,
and businesses to involve more people in
transportation decisions. Transportation should
serve people first; Transit for Livable Communities
is dedicated to making that happen.
Today, Transit for Livable
Communities is the
largest transportation
reform organization
in Minnesota, with
13 employees and
more than 10,000
advocates and
members. ADVOCATES& mEmbErS

When more people become involved in transportation decisions,
with sound information and analysis, we achieve real changes in our
transportation system. Linking grassroots action with policy reform
doesn’t only bring victories at the legislature. It unites and builds the
power of diverse individuals and organizations to become stronger
advocates in their own communities.
Bottom line—it’s not just about what we do; it’s how we do it. It’s
why we work in a coalition, rather than by ourselves. It’s why we work
with our members to build their skills as effective advocates. It’s
why our staff, board, and members can be found at meetings with
small neighborhood organizations or in the halls of the State Capitol
(sometimes on the same day!).
Without the strong support—whether money, time, or both—of
our members, donors, and volunteers, we could not be successful.
Our work together shapes a powerful new future for Minnesota’s
transportation system. Your dedication to our shared vision is
deeply appreciated.
Whether you’re new to TLC or a longtime supporter, join us in our work
to make Minnesota an even better place to live.
Thank you!
Jennifer Munt
Board President

Transit is part of our daily lives. We have to create the change we want to see in our region. A more balanced transportation system is the end goal; how we work together to shape that future is at the heart of our work.
Dan is known in the nonprofit sector for his decade-
long experience as president of Neighborhood House,
which he transformed to a $5.5 million organization.
Neighborhood House is a 112-year-old settlement
house that helps immigrants and refugees succeed
in the United States. In that position, Hoxworth
conceived and orchestrated the design, development,
and construction of the Paul and Sheila Wellstone
Center for Community Building.
Dan also worked on transportation issues in
Missouri, where he started a neighborhood
association that quickly grew into one of the most
active and powerful neighborhood groups in Kansas
City. He worked with environmental groups to stop
a second beltway from being included in the 2020
transportation plan in Kansas City, and reframed the
debate to focus on revitalizing the urban core.
TLC is delighted to have Dan on board! Learn more

northstar CoMMuter rail opensafter years of planning and development, the 40-mile Northstar Commuter rail Line service started on November 16, connecting Big Lake with the transit hub adjacent to Target field.
The line is expected to carry 3,400 riders on weekdays
during its first year of operation, and weekday passenger
traffic is expected to eventually reach 4,100.
Transit for Livable Communities played an important role
in making the Northstar Line a reality. In 2004, Transit for
Livable Communities and the Transit Partners coalition
introduced “Transportation Choices 2020” at the state
legislature. Learning from initiatives across the country,
the coalition recommended a half-cent, region-wide sales
tax to fund an expanded transit system. During the 2008
session, a quarter cent sales tax was authorized, making
it possible to secure needed federal funding for a region-
wide transit system that includes light rail, bus rapid
transit, and commuter rail—like the Northstar Line.
Barb Thoman, program consultant at TLC, wrote the
following account of Northstar’s first day of operations:
“The dark skies did not dampen the excitement of the
eager residents of Big Lake and St. Cloud who began
lining up Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. for a chance
to get one of the few remaining tickets for the first ride
on the Northstar Commuter rail. The crowd built all
morning and people enjoyed music, food, and a few
speeches under a big white tent set up in the parking lot
at the Big Lake Station.
“Many riders spoke of their excitement to be better
connected to Minneapolis and all it has to offer;
others spoke of a faster, lower stress commute; and
some looked forward to a much lower cost trip to the
Minneapolis/ St. Paul airport. Many said that
the line needs at least one mid-day
train and nearly everyone wanted
the train to be extended to
St. Cloud. TLC participated
in the opening events as
volunteers greeted riders
at all the stations. The
train pulled out of the
station right on
time at 11:35 a.m.
headed south to
the beautiful new
Target field Station.”

MaP COUrTESY Of METrO TraNSIT
Each transit line creates a healthier transportation
system, making it easier for all Minnesotans to reach
their destinations.
In close partnership with allies and members, Transit for
Livable Communities addressed the state’s most pressing
transportation challenges in 2009. We worked together to
prevent severe transit cuts and fare increases, influence
federal stimulus spending in Minnesota, and continue to
lay the groundwork for a stronger transit system.
• TLC encouraged city and county officials to oppose
metro-area stimulus funding plans, which called for
using the majority of the Surface Transportation
Program funding to expand two major highways
rather than repair local roads and bridges or expand
transit. This work inspired the Metropolitan Council
Transportation advisory Board to hold a public meeting
on the proposed spending of stimulus funds.
• TLC convened a new state coalition to work with the
Transportation for america campaign to advocate for
a new national transportation program that ensures
greater options, greater flexibility, and increased
accountability. This would create a new national
transportation program that is ready for the rapidly
changing economy of the 21st century.
• TLC turned out more than 150 members and
supporters at Senate subcommittee hearings in
Minneapolis and Maplewood to support bus service.
Members and staff worked together to advocate for
closing the transit budget deficit, preventing severe
service cuts and fare increases.

Taking a Snapshot of Bike, Pedestrian Traffic
This excerpt is from an article by Amanda Kushner that appeared in the Downtown Journal on September 28, 2009
Jim Howitt was stationed in the grass on the side of the
Cedar Lake trail near royalston avenue from 4 to 6 p.m.
for two hours his job was to count. after each cyclist or
pedestrian went by his site line across the trail, he would add
another tally mark.
“I’ve seen you guys everywhere,” Dana rutt called as she
biked by. “Thank you.” In her 50 minutes of biking she had
passed four counters.
Howitt was one of 48 volunteers working with Transit for
Livable Communities (TLC) to count bicycle and pedestrian
activity in the Twin Cities earlier this month. from Sept. 8–10
the volunteers were positioned at 42 locations. Then on Sept.
15–17 and 22–24, the city of Minneapolis conducted similar
counts to collect data about pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Transit for Livable Communities works hard to make Minnesota streets and sidewalks safe for bicyclists and pedestrians.
We partner with advocates, policymakers, and elected officials
to advocate for innovative policy and planning changes.
Transit for Livable Communities
administers Bike Walk Twin Cities (BWTC),
an innovative, federally funded initiative
that shifts trips from driving to bicycling
and walking in Minneapolis and its
neighboring communities. This is one of
four pilot communities nationwide. Transit
for Livable Communities is responsible
for allocating $22 million in planning, infrastructure, and
education funding to create a safer, better connected bicycling
and walking transportation system.
A Few Highlights• Through BWTC, the TLC board of directors allocated more
than four million dollars toward innovative projects, including
improvements to Douglas Drive in golden valley, an example
demonstrating how the implementation of complete streets
policies can make streets safer for all of us.
• Cycloplan uses wiki technology to enable feedback from
residents to enable cross-jurisdictional planning for
bike/walk facilities. The public front-end of this system,
Cyclopath, is a cutting-edge route-finding tool. Check it out
at www.cyclopath.org.
• BWTC allocated funds for Nice ride Minnesota, a public
bike share system that will place 1,000 bikes in 80 secure,
self-service kiosks throughout downtown, the University of
Minnesota campus, and uptown in Minneapolis starting in
the spring of 2010.
• TLC recruited and trained members to serve as project
advocates, ensuring knowledgeable, ongoing support of
BWTC-funded projects through outreach, advocacy, and
participation in community processes.
• Partnering with the Bike Walk ambassadors and the
Minnesota Bicycle alliance, Bike Walk Twin Cities trained
approximately 50 instructors in the League of american
Bicyclists’ Smart Cycling program. These instructors will go
on to lead courses that educate cyclists about safe riding. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
• Working with TLC members, volunteers, and allies,
Bike Walk Twin Cities conducted regular bicycle
and pedestrian counts to create a legacy of solid
data collection that will help jurisdictions make
informed planning and engineering designs for all
users. Watch for the annual data report in January.

CoMplete streets: Making roads safer for all Minnesotans
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What Are Complete Streets?
• On a rural highway, a complete street may only have a wide shoulder making it safe and accessible for people who wish to walk and bicycle in the countryside.
• In a rural city, a state highway that also serves as a main street might have sidewalks and a tree-lined median to provide people with a safe refuge along a busy corridor.
• In an urban neighborhood, complete streets are the centerpiece of a vibrant community. Speeds are slow, sidewalks are wide, and streets have bike lanes. Clearly marked crosswalks invite people to walk and interact with neighbors and businesses.
Complete streets, expanded transit service, and more
compact development all combine to make our communities
more livable.
Complete streets is a national and local movement to ensure
that when streets are designed or rebuilt, the needs of all
users are considered, whether they be on foot, in a wheelchair,
on a bicycle, or in a motor vehicle. all too often, roads are
designed primarily to move more and more vehicles at higher
speeds—making them hostile environments for persons
walking, bicycling, or accessing transit. They also rob our
community of vital public space.
Transit for Livable Communities is part of the steering
committee of the newly formed Minnesota Complete Streets
Coalition along with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MN, fresh
Energy, and the Bicycle alliance of Minnesota.
The coalition is working to pass a
strong statewide complete streets
policy in 2010 and foster the
implementation of complete
streets in communities
across the state. The
coalition had 40
members by the end
of 2009.
Activities • TLC participated in the Minnesota Department of
Transportation’s Complete Streets advisory Panel, which
initiated a study to learn the benefits, cost, and feasibility of
establishing a complete streets policy in Minnesota.
• Transit for Livable Communities co-convened a workshop to
build momentum for a complete streets policy in Minnesota.
• TLC will be working in partnership with its nonprofit partners,
MnDOT, and other stakeholders to facilitate complete streets
implementation in Minnesota.
a convergence of issues—obesity, air and water quality, and an aging population—have contributed to a growing interest in complete streets, an effort to make streets safe for everyone.
The answer depends on the location. Designing complete streets is a local process with plenty of community input.
• TLC worked with its partners in 2009 on legislation that
1) changed school siting requirements—making it easier to
locate schools in places where children can walk or bike to
school and 2) requiring the Metropolitan Council to study how
transit access and land use can reduce the need for car travel.

the next liVable CoMMunitiesWith a growing and aging population, more residents want communities where homes, workplaces, and shops are easily accessible without a car.
livAble CommunITIES///////////////////////
In many communities, zoning regulations discourage
this type of development, resulting in spread out
development patterns that limit people’s options for
getting around.
a “livable community” gives people that choice.
It allows residents to hop on clean, reliable trains
or buses to reach their jobs, shopping, or doctor
appointments. Its streets are narrower and have
lower speed limits and sidewalks, making walking or
bicycling to a coffee shop or a grocery store a less
daunting proposition. It has buildings that can support
apartments, workspaces, and retail, which gives people
the choice to live near where they work and play.
There is no prescription for a “livable community,”
but some features really stand out. Sidewalks provide
safe, pleasant ways to reach destinations, while clearly
marked crosswalks and well designed medians allow
residents to safely cross streets. Bicycle lanes provide
cyclists with a dedicated place on the road, reminding
both drivers and cyclists of their responsibility to
share that road. Buses and trains have stops within
walking or bicycling distance, while street trees,
planters, pleasant lighting, and staggered parking help
to calm traffic, which lowers driving speeds.
The overall effect? all residents have access to the
transportation they need, regardless of their ability or
desire to drive.
