The U.S. House of Representatives is currently debating a new long-term transportation funding bill—the INVEST in America Act. (INVEST stands for Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation.)
Please email your lawmakers today to voice your support. They need to know we want them to make public transit a priority at this critical time.
Public transit systems have continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling essential healthcare, public safety, utility, pharmacy, and grocery workers to reach their jobs and help our communities. Now we need public transportation more than ever to support our nation’s social and economic recovery.
The INVEST in America Act will provide robust funding to fix and upgrade public transit systems, improve safety for all forms of travel, and implement public transportation projects driven by local leaders and the particular needs of their communities. The bill also includes critical funding to enable America’s public transit systems to continue safe operations and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our nation’s current long-term transportation bill—the FAST Act—expires on September 30. We urgently need Congress to build on its decades-long commitment to public transportation by passing the INVEST in America Act. Please voice your support now. It takes just a few minutes to complete this critical action.
Thank you,
Chad Chitwood Voices for Public Transit Community Coordinator
