It’s how we get there
From the buses in Racine to the Port of Green Bay to the rail lines in Superior to the Waukesha County Airport to the roads we use every day, Wisconsin’s transportation network is the key to connecting goods to market and people to jobs.
Founded in 1971, the Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin promotes the vitality and safety of the state’s transportation system, including public transit systems, public-use airports, railroads, commercial ports, and roads.

Bikes are booming!
During the pandemic, sales of bikes skyrocketed, and the trend continues.
Bike-share programs have also seen tremendous growth in many cities across the country, and Madison and Milwaukee bike-share systems thrive.
As Bike Month comes to a close, Morgan Ramaker, Executive Director of BCycle, joins TDA’s Debby Jackson to talk about the successful bike-share programs in Wisconsin and the role they can play in a community’s transportation system.
In 1971 – the same year that TDA was founded – Amtrak started operations. Amtrak was established by the Congressional Rail Passenger Service Act, which consolidated the existing 20 passenger railroads into one. #FlashbackFriday
The Osceola train depot (Polk Co) opened more than a century ago with a rich history of carrying passengers, freight, and mail to the upper Midwest for many decades. The Sun shares the history of this important transportation center.
