Join the grassroots movement for a “new” kind of transit system - one that’s fun, doesn’t pollute, is neighborhood friendly, and best of all won’t break the bank!

At one time, Tacoma had one of the most extensive streetcar systems in the country. Viewed as old-fashioned, the system was scrapped in 1938. Now, over 100 years after the first streetcars ran in Tacoma, the need for a user-friendly mass transit system is upon us again.

The intent of Tacoma Streetcar is to:

• Re-connect neighborhood business districts
• Reduce traffic and auto emissions
• Increase participation in public transit
• Encourage economic revitalization
• Encourage and increase tourism
• Compliment Tacoma’s historic character
