Greetings,

 Big decisions about transportation funding must be made soon - before funding runs out.

Make sure the money spent goes to projects that are clean, safe and smart.

Tell your representative to make a stand: no more money without real reform!

Without new legislation, the National Highway Trust Fund – which pays for highways, roads, bridges, bike/pedestrian facilities and transit projects around the country – will run out of money in August. This could mean that construction projects recently launched by stimulus dollars will stall out and people will lose their jobs, which is the last thing we need just when our economy is showing signs of improving.

Tell Congress: no new money without a real, sustainable plan!

We have been trying for too long to build our way out of a congested and inefficient system that has no accountability and no actual plan to link our roads, trains, buses, bikeways and pedestrian-friendly streets.

The result? Longer, more frustrating, less safe and increasingly expensive commutes for all of us.

But now we have an opportunity for change. We must ensure that our country's transportation investments strengthen our economy, our environment and our health.

» Tell your Representative we need real reform before we throw more of your hard-earned money at our problems!

Thank you,

carrie
