Program accomplishments

• ALLIANCE FOR A JUST SOCIETY - THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR TRANSIT JUSTICE CONTINUED OUTREACH & EDUCATION AROUND THE NEED FOR INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS INCLUDED A WEEKLY MEETING WITH 60 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. WE CONTINUED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF FEDERAL FUNDING FOR TRANSIT OPERATIONS. WE WORKED WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL GROUPS TO IDENTIFY SHARED POLICY GOALS THAT WILL IMPROVE TRANSIT, BIKING, AND WALKING. THESE INCLUDE: 1. GREAT TRANSIT SERVICE REQUIRES FEDERAL OPERATING FUNDS. 2. COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE TRANSIT-READY. FREQUENT TRANSIT REQUIRES ROADS TO INCORPORATE TRANSIT LANES, TRAFFIC SIGNAL PRIORITY, AND SAFE ACCESS FOR ALL ROAD USERS BETWEEN TRANSIT STOPS AND KEY DESTINATIONS, AMONG OTHER FEATURES. ROAD DESIGN MUST PRIORITIZE SAFETY OVER SPEED TO PROTECT TRANSIT RIDERS AND REDUCE ROADWAY DEATHS AND INJURIES. ANY REAUTHORIZATION NEEDS TO UPDATE ROADWAY DESIGN STANDARDS TO REQUIRE TRANSIT-SUPPORTIVE ELEMENTS, FUND TRANSIT-SUPPORTIVE ACTIVITIES, AND SUPPORT UPDATING PLANNING AND ZONING CODES. SMALL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES DESERVE GREAT TRANSIT. REMOVE BARRIERS AND IMPROVE THE FEDERAL TRANSIT PROGRAM TO INCREASE ACCESS TO QUALITY TRANSIT IN SMALL TOWNS AND RURAL AREAS. THIS MEANS: AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR RURAL TRANSIT PROGRAMS. RAISING THE FEDERAL SHARE OF RURAL TRANSIT OPERATING FUNDING FROM 50% TO 80%. INCENTIVIZING COORDINATION ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES AND MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES. TO ENABLE LONG-TERM PLANNING, STATES MUST PROVIDE MULTI-YEAR FUNDING ESTIMATES TO RURAL TRANSIT AGENCIES. INCENTIVIZING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS WITH COMPETITIVE GRANT FUNDING. CREATE A FEDERAL PROCUREMENT CLEARINGHOUSE TO HELP SMALL AND RURAL TRANSIT AGENCIES RIGHT-SIZE THEIR PURCHASES, INCREASE EFFICIENCY, AND FACILITATE LOWER CAPITAL COSTS. 4. FIX IT FIRST: THE FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SHOULD PRIORITIZE MAINTENANCE ON EXISTING ROADS, BRIDGES, AND HIGHWAYS AHEAD OF ROADWAY CAPACITY EXPANSION THAT REQUIRES DECADES OF ADDITIONAL REPAIR COSTS. 5. TRANSIT SHOULD HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WITH HIGHWAYS. WE RELEASED 5 REPORTS INCLUDING: "EARTH DAY: IT'S TIME TO MAKE BETTER TRANSPORTATION DECISIONS", " 3 WAYS TO MAKE BUS DRIVING A BETTER JOB", "GOOD TRANSIT REQUIRES WELL PAID UNION WORKERS", "INVESTING IN THE TRANSIT WORKFORCE FOR STRONGER COMMUNITIES AND "STATE BY STATE: IMPACT OF THE STRONGER COMMUNITIES THROUGH BETTER TRANSPORTATION ACT" WE DEVELOPED AND SHARED FIVE TOOLKITS GEARED TO HELPING GROUPS ORGANIZE CONSTITUENCIES, BUILD EFFECTIVE TOWNHALLS, AND OTHER EVENTS.
