What is CFTE?
The Center for Transportation Excellence (CFTE) is a clearinghouse for information in support of quality transportation choices. CFTE is committed to two main objectives: (1) defending the merits of transit and (2) equipping local leaders with the information they need to be successful with their public transportation initiatives and ballot measures.

How can I contact CFTE?
You can contact CFTE via email at info@cfte.org or by phone at (202) 244-2405. You can also write to us at 4000 Albemarle Street, NW, Suite 303, Washington, DC 20016.

How is CFTE different from other transportation groups?
While there are numerous organizations working to improve transportation in the U.S., CFTE is the only organization with a strong emphasis on keeping track of the critics of public transportation and helping local groups pass transit initiatives. We are a relatively small organization that strives to stay on the cutting edge of transit issues. Our responsiveness to new challenges and our desire to help communities win at the ballot box makes CFTE unique.
