TAKE ACTION: Urge Congress to Provide COVID-19 Emergency Funding for Public Transit
Public transportation systems across the country are facing a financial
crisis. We need Congress to support public transportation with $32 billion in emergency
funding. Public transit must be supported as it continues to play a vital role
in helping our communities respond to COVID-19.
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 the 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 continuing to struggle against COVID-19—and we are seeing a fall spike in some areas. Businesses are hurting, and state and local budgets face enormous shortfalls. Public transit is in dire need of additional funding. The cost of additional COVID-19 safety measures and revenue losses is estimated at more than $32 billion.
Public transit systems need an immediate infusion of additional relief funding to continue safe operations and provide an essential service in our nation’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Without new emergency funding, a majority of public transit systems will have to cut service or furlough employees.
Please email your legislators now to urge them to make certain funding for public transportation is included in the next phase of COVID-19 emergency response legislation.
