Sustain Charlotte is a community-based 501(c)3 nonprofit advocating for smart land use and transportation choices. Our mission is to inspire choices that lead to a healthy, equitable, and vibrant community for generations to come. We advocate for local solutions that reduce our impact on the climate, advance racial equity, and support residents’ health and wellness.

We believe that the best way to tackle the challenges of the Charlotte region’s rapid population growth is by focusing on how we grow. That is why we advocate for dependable public transit, a connected greenway system, bicycle and sidewalk networks, and compact, efficient, well-planned development to preserve more green space and reduce our dependency on cars. 

We also engage with our neighborhoods, nonprofit partners, businesses, the media, and elected officials to guide conversations, and strive to keep residents informed through community programs, free educational content, and public events so that they can feel empowered to advocate for public policy changes critical to realizing our vision of a livable community for generations to come.
