TAKE ACTION: Urge Congress to Provide COVID-19 Emergency Funding for Public Transit - CONGRESS COULD VOTE WITHIN DAYS! ACTION NEEDED TODAY!
Public transportation systems across the country are facing a financial
crisis and emergency funding has never been more urgent. A newly released bipartisan
framework features $908 billion of COVID relief, with $15 billion for public
transit.
We need Congress to move forward with this bipartisan package, but it is still short of the $32 billion needed for public transit. You can help by expressing your strong support for this bipartisan package while explaining the realities that public transit is facing and the need for a total of $32 billion in additional funding.
Your Senators and Representative need to hear from you so they know public transportation is a priority for their constituents.
Our communities need immediate support for public transportation as part of COVID-19 emergency response legislation. Public transit brings healthcare workers to the frontlines and connects other essential workers to their jobs while helping communities rebuild their economies.
States and communities are struggling against the latest wave of COVID-19, businesses are hurting, and state and local budgets face enormous shortfalls. Public transit is in dire need of additional funding and our transit systems are in peril without emergency funding. The cost of additional COVID-19 safety measures and revenue losses is estimated at more than $32 billion.
Please email your legislators now to urge them to ensure emergency funding for public transportation is included in new COVID-19 relief legislation.
