February is Black History Month, and Voices for Public Transit is celebrating some of the many African-American leaders in transportation and public transit.

Dear John Across America, communities of all sizes depend on public transportation as a reliable connector to employment opportunities, economic growth and thriving neighborhoods. From local bus routes in rural areas to subways spanning cities of millions, public transportation plays a significant role in keeping us connected. Help Voices for Public Transit urge your elected officials to keep the public transit promises Congress made in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Take Action It's important for our members of Congress to hear from their constituents about the critical role public transportation plays in connecting people to their jobs and employment opportunities, strengthening local economies, and supporting vibrant communities. With the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act still being implemented, it's critical that your members of Congress understand why it’s so important to continue ensuring the public transit funding allocated by the law makes its way to local communities to help expand, upgrade, and build new public transit infrastructure. Take two minutes to tell your elected officials to support public transit promises made in the IIJA—send your message today. As always, thank you for helping fight for increased public transportation investment that strengthens communities, grows economies, and benefits our entire country.
