History

In 2004, when the District of Columbia first launched the DC Circulator bus, DC Surface Transit was created as a partnership between the Downtown, Georgetown, and Golden Triangle Business Improvement Districts, the Washington Convention and Tourism Corporation (WCTC), the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), and the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) to help advise, promote, and market the Circulator. 

Managed by the Downtown BID, DCST assisted with the Circulator's development and led planning efforts around its expansion. DCST grew to encompass more BIDs and other business organizations.

In 2016-7, the DCST board decided to broaden the organization's scope to more than just transit and more tranist than just the Circulator. The organization changed its name to DC Sustainable Transportation and contracted with Greater Greater Washington to increase its programmatic activities.
