Public transit is facing a historic crisis! $32 billion in emergency funding is needed to help American public transportation maintain safe, reliable operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
You can help decision-makers better understand why public transit is critical by sharing your story. How is public transit making a difference in your community? Please share how your community is benefiting from your local public transit system.
Public transportation is a great resource for millions of Americans—and it is helping us fight COVID-19 by getting essential workers to their jobs.
Public transportation also helps fight air pollution and traffic congestion. It strengthens neighborhoods by attracting investments in businesses and housing. Every $1 billion invested in public transportation creates or supports about 50,000 jobs.
