Who We Are

OUR VISION

The State of Maine can be a place that offers access to an affordable, reliable, convenient, safe, and sustainable transportation system that provides a diversity of options for the people of Maine. This diverse and equitable transportation system will promote healthy, livable, economical, and environmentally sound solutions that make the best use of our current systems, while advancing other, more sustainable and economical alternatives.

MaST MISSION

The Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation works with decision makers to ensure that Mainers have access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable transportation. MaST strives to defend, expand and improve sustainable transportation options through advocacy, policy initiatives, and public outreach.

The Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation is a coalition organization consisting of individuals and organizations who agree with the following principles:

  • A sustainable transportation system advances economic development, a cleaner environment, fiscal accountability, and healthier people.

  • Financially and environmentally, Mainers can no longer afford the roads-focused transportation policies and infrastructure of the 20th century.

  • Mainers need a diverse transportation system with several viable modes so they can choose the best one for a particular trip, and so the system is robust to change.
  • While motor vehicles will continue to play an important role in the coming years, that role is diminishing, and will continue to diminish in significance. In the 21st century, other, more efficient methods of transportation - from human-powered mobility in neighborhoods to high-speed regional railroads - must receive greater consideration and investment.

And, above all, that all people deserve to have affordable, accessible, reliable, and sustainable transportation.
