Alliance for Community Choice in Transportation

Write Senate to Encourage Alternative Transportation

In June, the House passed H.R. 6052, the "Saving Energy Through Public Transportation Act," by a vote of 322 to 98. This bill would authorize emergency grants to mass transit authorities to expand services. While Americans are riding transit in record numbers, many transit agencies are cutting services due to rising fuel costs and declining funding.

When it returns from its August recess, the Senate needs to take action on comparable funding measures to ensure urgent improvement in public transportation, ridesharing, walking, cycling, and other travel options so Americans have travel choices at a time of $4 per gallon gas.
