A potential historic streetcar on 6th Avenue, where transit service used to be every 6 minutes.

Build a Tacoma Streetcar System

Target:
Pierce Transit and the Tacoma City Council
Tacoma Streetcar wants to gauge how much public support is out in the City for streetcars and light rail.  We intend to present these signatures to the Tacoma City Council and Pierce Transit to let them know just how big a movement this is.  Your signature to this petition can send a powerful message to local leaders that we want streetcars and light rail connecting our neighborhoods and business districts throughout the city.

Your voice counts!  Thanks for your support.

We, the undersigned, support a public transportation vision in Tacoma, that:
  1. Includes a practical and convenient network of streetcars, light rail, and buses,
  2. Encourages livable communities, where car ownership is optional,
  3. Catalyzes quality economic development in Tacoma's Mixed Use Centers,
  4. Links those centers to surrounding neighborhoods and to Downtown, and,
  5. Is more cost effective to operate per passenger served.
Please take into account our opinions when planning the future of public transportation in Tacoma and Pierce County.

Thank you for taking the time to read our petition,

This is one of the most important steps we can take in Tacoma to ensure neighborhood connectivity and increase the viability of our business districts.

It's time to (re-)invest in the future of our neighborhoods and downtown as the social and economic arteries of Tacoma. Begin by connecting Downtown to the Sixth Avenue District and Martin Luther King via the Stadium District.

Public transportation is a really good idea. It's usually much cheaper than driving; & if it's well established & organized/structured, it can be alot more convenient.

I want to see streetcars that connect the Stadium District, Upper Tacoma District and 6th Avenue District. They used to be connected when the old streetcar system existed, and they should be again.
