To honor the work of transit workers, grow our economy, and provide the freedom to move to urban, suburban and rural communities alike, we’re fighting to ensure newly secured transit funding is spent where it matters most.

The best way to ensure elected officials and people in power best use these funds to advance equity nationwide is by providing them with real-life examples of how public transit has made a difference in their communities.

That’s why we’re asking for your stories of how a bus driver has made an impact in your life.

Maybe it’s the bus driver from your childhood that went out of their way to drop you off right in front of your house, instead of down the street. Maybe it’s the bus driver on your route to work who always remembers your name and greets you with a smile.

Essential workers themselves, bus drivers have delivered again and again throughout this pandemic, under extreme circumstances and stress often without hazard pay or paid sick days to support them.

Please take a moment to share your story with us now.

We’ll share your story with the media and the people with the power -- from Congress to your local transit board -- to make sure public transportation gets the funding it needs to expand routes and provide dependable and frequent service for everyone.
