Thank your elected officials for supporting FASTER Yesterday afternoon Governor Ritter signed into law a critical transportation funding bill (Senate Bill 108, the FASTER bill)! The bill, which passed late last week, included more money for transit than had previously been in the bill. It also provides a new tool for local governments to raise money to build transit, which is a huge victory!   Please thank your State Senator and/or State Representative for their vote in support of FASTER! Sample Letter for Campaign Subject: Thank you for voting YES on FASTER Dear [ Decision Maker ] , As your constituent, I would like to thank you for your vote in support of the final version of Senate Bill 108, the FASTER bill. FASTER will help Colorado move towards a more sustainable transportation system by dedicating $15 million per year to transit-related projects that protect multimodal safety and by giving local governments an important new tool to use to raise money to build transit projects. These provisions are important steps toward a future in Colorado where people drive less and instead take transit, carpool, bike or walk when possible. This will be good for all Coloradans as it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion. Thank you for hearing my concerns and for voting for FASTER. Thank you! Sincerely,

Campaign Launched: March 02, 2009
