Congress is expected to vote on COVID-19 relief legislation this weekend, and we need your support.Take action now to urge lawmakers to include at least $32 billion in emergency funding for public transit in this legislation.
Increased safety measures and prolonged decreases in ridership are taking a dramatic toll on local transit systems—a toll some of them may not survive without help from Congress. Without reliable, accessible public transit, our local communities and our nation will struggle harder and longer to recover from the pandemic.

“The essential nature of public transportation across this country means that any investment that we make returns financially many times over because of the ability we have to support and upgrade our economy and performance, because we provide that base of workers and the ability to connect."
-Scott Smith, former Republican mayor of Mesa, Ariz., former president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and chief executive of Valley Metro, Phoenix
