PPS partner Transportation For America is a growing and diverse coalition focused on creating a national transportation program that will take America into the 21st century by building a modernized infrastructure to support healthy communities where people can live, work and play. This effort is centered primarily on influencing Congress’ reauthorization of federal transportation legislation in 2009.
On October 15, T4America will stage press events all around the country to coincide with the economic focus of the final Obama-McCain debate. The coalition will call for the candidates to address the fact that our economy is suffering from falling home values, rising gas prices and economic fallout on Main Street, and that strategic investments in public transportation will immediately create jobs and spur economic development, as well as provide more affordable transportation options. Like PPS, T4America believes that we need fundamental change in how America builds its communities, and a transportation system that will support and enhance them.
