Transit is in trouble and needs your support. Bus drivers, mechanics, station agents, and riders need protective gear; vehicles and stations need daily cleaning. If Congress does not authorize more emergency transit funding, the substantial cuts in transit service you are experiencing today will remain or may be cut further. More commuters may have to drive, further clogging the streets you use to bike.
Sign and share the following petitions from our transit partners at Amalgamated Transit Union and Transit Center.
