Whether you ride or not, public transportation benefits all of us. It reduces pollution, eases traffic congestion, and helps our communities thrive. In cities, suburbs, and rural America, public transit provides vital connections to jobs, education, medical care, and our larger communities. Help us keep America moving. - See more at: http://voicesforpublictransit.org/#sthash.TQ7ghjY2.dpuf
The good news is, both the Senate and the House have passed multi-year, comprehensive transportation bills.
The bad news is, the House legislation doesn’t significantly increase funding for public transit beyond current levels.
Please call the Voices for Public Transit Legislative Hotline now at (888) 443-5862 to urge Senators McCain and Flake and Representative Sinema to increase America’s investment in public transportation.
The call is free and will only require a few minutes of your time.
We have one last opportunity to make sure the final legislation Congress sends to President Obama funds public transit at the highest levels possible. We have to make it clear to Congress that America wants increased long-term funding for public transit.
Here’s all you have to do:
- Call (888) 443-5862 and listen to our brief instructions
- You’ll be connected to your U.S. Representative’s office first
- Stay on the line and you’ll be connected to your Senators’ offices as well.
Congress will likely be voting on the final legislation in the next week or so. Calls from voters now will ensure they pass a long-term transportation bill that enables our nation to expand and improve public transit.
Let’s make the phones ring off the hook on Capitol Hill.
Call the Voices for Public Transit Legislative Hotline at (888) 443-5862 today!
