In Washington state, all people deserve an equal opportunity to get to where we need to go.

But too many neighborhoods lack safe streets and sidewalks for us to get around safely. And despite record ridership, transit agencies are having to cut bus service.

We can't just expect state legislators to do the right thing. Hundreds of us need to make it clear: unsafe streets and more service cuts are unacceptable. We need real funding options.

That's why we need you to come to Transportation Advocacy Day in Olympia. Register for free now >>

Transportation Advocacy Day 2013
Tuesday, February 12, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Olympia, WA

As Americans, there are a few basic values that we all share. Treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated. Leave a better world for our children and the next generation.

But for the first time in generations, we're failing. Because of how we've built our communities, our children are less healthy and their life expectancy is decreasing. And not only that, but housing and transportation costs are even less affordable and less equitable than a decade ago.

Across the state, these are urgent issues. King County Metro's emergency funding runs out in a year. Pierce Transit faces 35% cuts, again. Community Transit struggles to keep its existing servicing going. And we continue to fail to invest in programs like Safe Routes to School and Complete Streets.

We have an action plan for our state elected leaders.[1] But to make it happen, we need you in Olympia on February 12.

Together we can make a better future. I hope to see you there!
