This is a virtual event
Transportation
for America is organizing supporters for a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to reorient federal transportation spending away from its
preference for long-distance driving and towards more public transit. Transportation is
now the largest source of carbon emissions in America, so taking action to reshape the US surface transportation program is a critical step in addressing climate change.
This Monday, come hear from Transportation for America's Policy Director Scott Goldstein about the intersection of federal transportation policy & climate change, and about our unique opportunity for reform. We'll discuss how federal transportation policy worsens climate change, what needs to be
done to make it better, what the just-released House transportation bill would do, and the
role of advocates - including you!
This event will take
place via Zoom. All registered attendees will receive a link
approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.
