About the CYTF: Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission:

The Central Yavapai Transit Foundation (CYTF) exists to develop, promote, support and facilitate a regional public transit system and other forms of alternative transportation in Central Yavapai County, Arizona.  By nurturing financial support, and educating the public about the benefits of public transit, the Foundation seeks to ensure access to transportation for all citizens in the community.

Vision:

We envision a comprehensive, multi-modal transportation network for central Yavapai County where all people, regardless of age, station, income or ability, have accessible, affordable public transit options available to them.

This can be achieved through partnerships, cooperation, coordination and resource sharing between and among area governments, transportation providers, human service agencies and advocacy organizations who work together to jointly promote, support and sustain transit services and mobility opportunities throughout the region.

Values:

  • We value the right of all citizens to have accessible, affordable transportation options.
  • We value a balanced transportation system that includes not only a strong roads network, but also robust regional public transit services as well as human service transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian alternatives.
  • We value cooperative partnerships to jointly plan, promote, support and sustain multi-modal transportation opportunities throughout the region.

Main Goals and Strategies:

  • To raise money and provide funding support for area public transit services;

    Yavapai county.
