• Pedestrian deaths are preventable. Demand safer streets!

  Thousands of Americans of all ages have been struck down in the simple act of walking. These "accidents" overwhelmingly occur on roads that are dangerous by design, with little or no provision for people on foot, in wheelchairs, or on a bicycle.

  With the 52 largest metro areas spending just $1.39 per person of federal funds on bicycle and pedestrian projects, it’s no wonder our streets are so dangerous.

  To make our streets safer, we need better design. And just as importantly, we need leaders who will drive those improvements.

  Ask your representatives to make pedestrian safety a priority.

• Tell Senator Boxer: I HEART TRANSIT!!

  Upcoming jobs and transportation bills are a chance to get our transit systems back on track – plus create new jobs and drive our economy in a green way.  Investing in public transportation is one of the best ways to save and create jobs FAST.
  
  Send Senator Boxer a message urging her to make sure transportation can help drive California's economic recovery!

• Thank you for looking out for Civil Rights

  On January 15, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced that in its rush to push through the Oakland Airport Connector project, BART had not completed legally required Title VI Civil Rights analysis and that federal funding for the project was on hold. This action validates concerns raised last year that BART was ignoring community voices during the planning process.  FTA has taken a strong stand for fairness and openess in the public planning process, take a second to tell them we appreciate it!
