The Battle for Transit
The Battle for Transit
The legislative battle over public transit continues and the time to act is NOW!
Last week, partisan politics threatened to end public transit as we know it. A frightening step was made in the attempt to defund, privatize, and dismantle public transit systems across the country.
The coming days will define the future of transit in this country - don't miss this opportunity to join the debate on transportation, equity, and economic justice.
