The THUD Appropriations Act is a critical piece of legislation that will determine public transportation investment for the fiscal year. This investment is vital for updating our transit systems, expanding service to underserved communities, and contributing to economic growth across the nation. |
| Dear John, The Transportation, Housing & Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Act was officially signed into law last month, providing critical investments in public transportation and passenger rail for communities across the country. As we look at the road ahead for public transportation funding, raising our voices to lawmakers in support of public transportation will be key to ensuring these investments make their way to our communities now and in the future. This week, more than 600 members from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and fellow industry professionals gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss important federal legislation and policy initiatives. This is an opportunity for industry leaders to make their voices heard on Capitol Hill and shape the future of public transportation investment. You can help amplify their messages to legislators by sending your elected officials a letter today. Urge your lawmakers to support public transportation investment now! | When shaping policies that impact public transportation, it’s important for Congress to understand and recognize the many economic and societal benefits public transportation brings to our communities. By engaging with elected officials and raising our voices in support of public transportation investment, we can help transform America’s public transportation network into the truly flexible, accessible, sustainable mobility resource it can and should be —and that every community deserves. Send a message to your members of Congress today— it only takes a few moments. As always, thank you for your commitment to supporting public transportation and making your voice heard.
