Petition for More and Better Public Transportation

Congress will soon make far-reaching decisions about our transportation system in the federal transportation bill. Congress should take this opportunity to fund public transportation, not more new, massive highway projects that don’t address our fundamental transportation problems.

Petition Text

Dear Member of Congress:

Congress will soon vote on a recovery package that will include
significant investment in our nation’s transportation system. It is a historic juncture and an opportunity to create more and better public transportation, which will reduce our dependence on oil, increase our economic competitiveness and cut air pollution and traffic congestion.

I encourage you to put our country on a path toward a 21st century transportation system by investing 40 percent of the transportation dollars in clean, efficient public transit.
Sincerely,
