Don’t let them gut our transportation progress

Although their first try was pushed back, the House is looking again to make deep transportation cuts that will directly affect many important projects in our states. High-speed rail, an innvoative grant program (TIGER) and new transit construction were among the programs either targeted for deep cuts or complete elimination. Cutting or delaying the projects already underway could result in lay-offs of good paying jobs for the construction industry, already the hardest hit industry of this recession. 

We need your help to make sure the Senate restores these programs. We have just a short window to make it clear to our senators that Americans rely on these transportation programs and don’t want to see them cut. Email your senators today!
