Last Call for Transit! Volunteers are needed!

The PA General Assembly is down to the wire, with just five session days left to address the transportation funding issue before Thanksgiving. That’s why we’re reaching out to legislators tomorrow to impress upon them how important it is that they pass a robust bill that funds transit, as well as roads and bridges.

Most important in ensuring that legislators hear our message, is making sure that they hear from their constituents. We are looking for volunteers to staff a phone bank toight, November 13th to reach out to voters across the state. from 6-8:30pm at the Sierra Club, 425 N. Craig

  • We deserve better roads.
  • We need reliable public transit
  • Save 12,000 construction jobs
  • Save all the jobs that are currently riding on public transit
  • And save the businesses that are currently dependent on public transit to bring their customers and employees to their doors
  • And ADD the tens of thousands of new construction jobs this bill would help to create.
  • All those jobs and businesses produce the urban tax base that pays for the rest of the state budget, including roads and bridges in rural and suburban Pennsylvania.

You can also help immensely by passing on this web address and asking your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to contact these representatives as well. And they can contact their own legislators easily by forwarding an email available at this link.

Please call today! We send enormous thanks to all the volunteers who have already helped reach out to voters and legislators across the state.
