Join T4 America

This year's transportation bill is our country's best chance to create a system where cyclists and pedestrians are safe, trains are faster and run cleaner, public transportation is widely available and efficient, roads and bridges are in good repair, and Americans everywhere benefit from a smarter network of transportation alternatives. Make sure your representatives and senators hear your voice—and the voices of thousands of regular Americans—calling out for big, bold change.

Join us, sign up today, and we'll keep you updated with opportunities to get involved and weigh in with Congress

Mary Vogel I'm creating a link to T4A in my next blog article for Sustainable Industries where I suggest that the next federal transporation bill needs to fund sustainable stormwater management in the largest part of our public realm--the streets. I hope T4A will support this effort.

You think public transportation is only for tea baggers? Much as I disagree with what many of my more conservative fellow Americans may believe, party politics should not be the deal breaker to make public transportation accessible for ALL, including those who would rather wear tea bags than drink it!

I concur with Heather. I'd like to see the Secretary start to really dive in and tackle some bigger problems. What about electrifying the train system? What about bringing back passenger rail enforce? These are issues.

Transportation for America Want to create green manufacturing jobs in the US? Make reliable investments in public transit buses. Make them cleaner, make them here, make them often.

Creating jobs and environmental benefits with cleaner transit buses
t4america.org
A new study by Duke University illuminates the fact that thousands of green jobs are waiting to be tapped in transit bus manufacturing — if the federal government will make a sustained commitment to investing in public transportation.

Transit Investments Create Twice As Many Jobs per $$$

A report from U.S. PIRG, Smart Growth America and the Center for Neighborhood Technology (http://www.eenews.net/features/documents/2010/01/05/document_gw_03.pdf) found that every billion dollars spent on transit produced 16,419 months of employment, or "job-months." Meanwhile, every billion ... See Morespent on projects funded under highway infrastructure programs produced 8,781 job-months.

The groups said the numbers show that the jobs bill passed by the House last month fails to maximize potential job creation from the roughly $36 billion it devotes to roads, bridges and transit and should instead provide a larger funding share for transit.

Marisel Reauthorization of the T-Bill will be a rough & tumble affair. Those of us interested in active transportation will need to armed with facts the clearly detail the benefits of getting the nation moving on its feet. PolicyLink, a community development policy think tank, published an excellent report that outlines the... health benefits of well-reasoned transportation policy. The link will take you to Dialogue4Health-a social networking site dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of considering the nation's health in all policies.
