Last week, the Senate reached an agreement to advance a bipartisan infrastructure deal. This is movement in the right direction towards long-term funding for critical industries like public transportation. While this is a positive initial step towards infrastructure legislation, more will be needed to ensure we make bold, necessary investments for the future of public transportation infrastructure.
One of the best ways to champion public transit is to highlight why you’re a supporter. Please share your story—telling us why you ride or how public transit is helping family, friends, and your community. You can also share what you consider to be key benefits of public transportation, such as reducing traffic congestion, enabling people to access jobs, or providing mobility to those who can’t drive.
We’ll be collecting and highlighting stories—which help the broader public and Congress understand the importance of public transportation.
Momentum is growing for a bold new investment in public transportation—and your story can help keep the drumbeat going. Thank you to everyone who already emailed their Senators to voice your support for public transportation.
We’ll continue to keep you updated about what’s happening in Washington, D.C. Let’s keep pushing until Congress makes the investment in public transportation that our nation needs.
Thank you!
