In honor of Rosa Parks birthday, we're taking action to demand State DOT's invest billions of dollars towards green, accessible transportation.
Friend, 112 years ago on February 4th, Civil Rights Leader Rosa Parks was born.
Her brave stand against injustice and her pivotal role in igniting the Montgomery bus boycott continue to inspire our generation 70 years later. In her honor this week, we are celebrating Transit Equity Day— a day to honor and affirm equal access to public transportation as a civil right.
Did you know that under Biden, hundreds of billions of dollars have flowed to State Departments of Transportation (DOTs)? Right now, those infrastructure dollars are being spent in ways that are increasing greenhouse gas emissions through unnecessary highway expansion projects. We are running out of time to slow the impacts of the climate crisis, Friend, we cannot stand for further setbacks.
Help fight back by emailing your Governor and State DOT: Demand they shift funding away from highway expansion to transit projects that help reduce emissions, increase accessibility, and connect communities. Use our one-click tool to email your State DOT today!

The future we desire—clean air and water, reliable and accessible public transit, and healthy communities— is within our reach. But we must take collective action now to demand federal dollars be invested toward meaningful emission reductions and transformative solutions for transit riders and environmental justice communities.
Billions of IIJA dollars are available for public transit, pedestrian safety, and road repairs, yet, the nation's leadership is pushing their "drill, baby, drill" agenda harder than ever before. Help us take action by emailing your Governor and State DOT today.
