Subject: Urgent Deadline: 8 PM EST! Sign On Letter Opposing House Ways & Means Transportation Funding Bill!

 

We need your help! We are strongly opposed to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee proposal to divert $25 billion in dedicated fuels tax revenues from the Mass Transit Account. This represents nearly 50 percent of the federal investment in public transit authorized by the House surface transportation bill. This drastic change will clearly put public transportation projects at risk. We call on Congress to continue the long-standing highway and public transit financing partnership in place today so that our country can continue to create American jobs and foster economic growth, as well as rebuild our aging infrastructure and meet the growing demand for improved and expanded transportation. Please contact your representative as soon as possible. Use the letter below, and help NAPTA join T4America and APTA in taking action!   DEADLINE 8pm EST TONIGHT, T4America and APTA will deliver this tonight. -- PLEASE SEND FAR AND WIDE!   https://docs.google.com/a/t4america.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDAzSHRkUTE0Y0UxejMtR2J6Z3JuYmc6MQ   NAPTA / 1666 K Street NW / Washington DC 2006 / 202-496-4807 in...@napta.net / www.NAPTA.net
