Position Information
Transportation Choices Coalition (TCC) is Washington State’s leading nonprofit organization bringing people together to advocate for safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation across Washington.
Based in Seattle, our vision is to create thriving, transit-oriented communities where people of every race, class, ability, and zip code can get where they need to go.
Our programs are focused on educating and building support for more transit, and developing cutting-edge policies to make it easier and more affordable for people to get around by rail, bus, mobility device, bike, and foot. In the last decade, we have also won over $50 billion in transit, bike, and
pedestrian investments.
TCC strives to be a great place to do great work. We prioritize a collaborative, team-oriented culture
where everyone has a high level of ownership and performance in their roles, where we collectively
embrace and practice anti-racism work, and where we care for ourselves, each other, and our
community. We are a flexible workplace and place a high priority on the health and well-being of our
staff.

● Be relationship-oriented and embrace collaboration. You recognize the deep importance that relationships play in our work, and you build rapport and trust with others.
