Tell Your Representatives to Fund More Public Transportation

You can reach your representatives at 202-224-3121. If you don't know who they are, that's OK. Just tell the operator your zip code, and they will connect you.

Here's a message you can leave for your representative:

“Hello, my name is _________, and I live in _________. I am calling to urge Representative _________ to support the Saving Energy Through Public Transportation Act. This bill will move us in the right direction, focus on addressing the big problems with transportation, and provide relief to American families struggling with high gas prices. Thank you."

Then let us know you called by filling out the form below. 

More and Better Public Transportation!

Congress will soon make far-reaching decisions about our transportation system in the federal transportation bill. Congress should take this opportunity to fund public transportation, not more new, massive highway projects that don’t address our fundamental transportation problems.

Petition Text

Dear Member of Congress:

Next year Congress will renew the six-year transportation bill—a historic juncture and opportunity to create more and better public transportation, which will reduce our dependence on oil, cut global warming pollution and ease traffic congestion.

I encourage you to put our country on a path toward a 21st century transportation system by doubling the portion invested in public transportation in the transportation bill.
