Seattle Transit Riders Union

The Transit Riders Union is a democratic organization of working and poor people, — including students, seniors and people with disabilities — taking control over our own lives, and building up the power we need to change society for the good of humanity and of the planet. We will fight to preserve, expand, and improve the public transportation system in Seattle and beyond, so that every human being has access to safe, affordable, and reliable public transit.

TRU is a multi-issue economic justice organization that works primarily in Seattle and King County. Over the years we have advocated for better public transit, more affordable housing, stronger renter protections, progressive tax policies, higher minimum wages, and much else. Our members are transit riders and anyone who wants to join the fight for a better city and a better world.
