The Empire State Transportation Alliance (ESTA) is a coalition of 66 business, civic, labor and environmental organizations that seek to build consensus for expanded resources for New York State transportation. Through research, public outreach and advocacy, ESTA advocates for ambitious capital spending plans that continue the progress made in restoring New York's mobility infrastructure. Since 1999, ESTA has identified potential investment scenarios and crafted effective education and outreach campaigns that increase public understanding of the urgent capital program needs facing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York State Department of Transportation.
