| John, We’re emailing our most engaged advocates today to ask you to take action immediately on behalf of public transportation. We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and staying home as much as possible. We recognize that not everyone can stay home, and public transit agencies are taking extraordinary steps to maintain critically needed services and protect the health and safety of riders and employees. Congress is now working on an additional round of emergency funding legislation to respond to the nationwide impact of COVID-19, and we are working to remind them of the vital role public transit plays in the current situation. Please urge lawmakers to include funding in forthcoming legislation to help our nation’s public transportation systems offset increased costs and revenue losses caused by COVID-19. EMAIL CONGRESS NOW
Support COVID-19 Funding for Public Transit Public transit is a lifeline for our nation—and it is especially important now so that healthcare providers, first responders, grocery employees, and other essential personnel can reach work. We also need public transit systems to maintain operations to help us emerge from this crisis. Congress is taking a wide range of actions to support essential services—and public transportation should be included. Please email your lawmakers today. It takes just a few minutes to complete this important action. Thank you, Chad Chitwood
