Our Work

The Purple Line Corridor Coalition (PLCC) is working to ensure that investments in the Purple Line light rail will offer the maximum economic, social, and environmental opportunities to the residents and businesses along the corridor. Since its establishment, the PLCC has conducted extensive place-based research, created informative maps and tools, provided a meeting place for different ideas and perspectives, led the creation of the Purple Line Community Compact, and helped to stimulate collaboration, focused community investment, and planning beyond the tracks.

Purple Line Corridor Goals

Our Accomplishments



Created and launched the Purple Line Data Dashboard to measure and monitor changes in the corridor and progress toward the community and economic development goals.


Led the creation of the Community Development Agreement for the Purple Line Corridor through extensive stakeholder engagement.

Why is transit so important to accessing opportunity?

For many people, it means:
  • Being able to afford both quality housing and transportation costs.
  • Local business viability, and access to necessary amenities, goods and services.
  • Access to good jobs that pay a living wage.
