ADVOCACY

MobiliSE is SE Wisconsin’s leading voice for transportation choices. We are broad-based, nonpartisan coalition of businesses, civic and neighborhood groups and employment agencies and other partners who understand the importance of a robust array of ways to get around our region. As a part of regional efforts to reform local funding for transit and other priorities, we are putting transit and transportation at the heart of the conversation about our region’s future.

Our Advocacy Agenda

Every year, MobiliSE’s board of directors approves an advocacy agenda to guide our efforts.

Our priorities include:

  • Sustainable funding for transit operations.

  • Regional Cooperation and Collaboration on Transit

  • Encourage the Growth of innovative services like FlexRide Milwaukee.

How We Advocate

Developing grassroots advocacy. In partnership with AARP Wisconsin and M-Pact, a national transit advocacy network, we are working to develop the capacity of local leaders to advocate for transit and safe streets along the 27th Street Corridor.

Organizing support for key projects and initiatives. Our coalition has stood for action to address potential budget shortfalls for Milwaukee County Transit, and has advised both Milwaukee County and City of Milwaukee officials on sales tax proposals that would sustain critical transportation infrastructure.

Advising key projects and helping shape public policy. MobiliSE has a seat at the table, serving in an advisory capacity to shape public policy statewide, and drive transformational projects regionally and locally. Our involvement includes:

  • Wisconsin Department of Transportation Non Driver Advisory Committee

  • Bluemound Road Transit Enhancement Study Advisory Committee

  • Wisconsin Department of Transportation 94 East West Transit Technical Advisory Committee

  • City of Milwaukee Complete Streets Community Advisory Committee

  • Community Advisory Committee for Milwaukee County North South Transit Enhancement Project
