Urge your representative to support the "Strong Communities through Better Transit Act"

Rep. Hank Johnson’s “Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act,” has the chance to provide greater quality transit to communities across the country. This vital piece of legislation would create a new formula grant program available to all transit agencies, rural and urban, to increase service frequency so that people don’t have to wait so long for the bus; to provide additional hours of service so that those who don’t work white collar hours can still get to their jobs; and to add new, frequent service to underserved communities.

Message:

Faced with fiscal cliffs in the years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic plus escalating inflation, many transit agencies have been forced to reduce service rather than focusing on increasing ridership back to—and beyond—pre-pandemic levels. This crisis has demonstrated that the current approach is failing to meet the needs of millions of Americans who rely upon transit to reach their essential destinations. That’s why I am writing to ask you to support Rep. Hank Johnson’s “Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act,” to provide greater quality transit to communities across the country. Good transit service is essential to local economies and the lives of millions of people across the country. And when millions of people either can’t catch a ride or have to wait an hour for the bus, our country’s economic potential is being hamstrung. This vital piece of legislation would create a new formula grant program available to all transit agencies, rural and urban, to increase service frequency so that people don’t have to wait so long for the bus; to provide additional hours of service so that those who don’t work white collar hours can still get to their jobs; and to add new, frequent service to underserved communities. The federal government has for decades supported the operations of other parts of our transportation network, like the cost of operating aviation through air traffic control and the cost of shipping through investment in ports and the management of locks and dams in the inland waterways. These are essential services for the movement of goods and people. Operating high quality transit is just as essential to get people to employment and to give businesses access to talent and customers. Please support the Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act. You can contact Rep. Johnson’s office for more information.
