Basic Bus Information

As buses to the Forward on Climate Rally are scheduled, we will list them below along with contact and sign-up information. This page will be frequently updated.

To become a bus coordinator, please see below. To see if there is a bus publicly announced in your area, please check back here frequently. If you have any other questions about buses -- or would like to get one you are already planning listed on this page -- please email climatebus@gmail.com.

Please contact climatebus@gmail.com even if you are planning a bus that does not need help with recruitment. We are working closely with the Park Police and other officials, and need to give you important information about parking and other details. It will also help us coordinate logistics.

Become a Bus Coordinator

The Forward on Climate Rally team is eager to work with you on scheduling and filling a bus from your region to Washington, D.C. We cannot promise specific funding at this time, but our organizers can offer helpful guidance and advertise your bus on this page.

If you are interested in coordinating a bus from your area, please sign up here, and an organizer will be in touch with you soon. Bus coordinators are responsible for reserving their bus, working with organizers to recruit riders, and taking care of logistics like payment and pickup locations. If you are a Sierra Club staff member or chapter leader, you must download and use these liability documents.

Please note: The rally begins at noon, so buses should plan to arrive no later than 11:30 a.m. on February 17!
