Transportation is the largest driver of climate pollution, and fossil fuel powered cars, trucks, and trains harms the air we breathe and water we drink. We know robust and affordable public transportation options help people get to work, recreate, and connect with family and friends.
But because there is no national funding to support local transit systems in cities and states, we see wild disparities in transportation infrastructure and quality from place to place.
Inaction has led to a patchwork of uneven and unreliable public transit services that leave too many people behind. Our communities deserve better.
It's time for Congress to pass the "Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act" and ensure public transit continues to drive economic growth and sustainability. Will you write your House representative and urge them to cosponsor this bill today?
