ABOUT US
The Equitable Transportation Fund (formerly known as The Mobility Fund) is a balanced, multimodal approach to transportation investing. Housed at the Global Philanthropy Partnership (GPP), this philanthropic funding mechanism supports community advocates incorporating climate justice principles into mobility policies that promote easy access to attractive, affordable, clean transportation in the urban and rural United States.
Grantees focus on cutting carbon emissions and changing how people get around in priority communities most impacted by racial injustice, poverty, disproportionate health risks, and the extreme weather events caused by climate change.
This fund is poised to support those interested in capitalizing on emerging federal funding opportunities to utilize all tools available for holistic, systemic transportation systems change.
