We need your help urgently!Congress is now considering new COVID-19 emergency response legislation—and it’s critical for lawmakers to include emergency funding for public transit.
Public transit is playing an essential role in helping our nation fight COVID-19. It enables healthcare workers and other essential workers to reach the frontlines of the battle to help our communities. It is also helping rebuild our economy in the wake of the economic recession.
The recent spike in cases is driving up costs and lowering revenues for public transit systems. The new COVID-19 emergency funding will enable public transit systems to maintain safe operations and move our nation forward.
Please email your lawmakers now to urge them to make public transportation a priority in emergency response legislation. Now is the time to make our voices heard!
Sincerely,
Chad Chitwood Voices for Public Transit Community Coordinator
