A Call to Action

The Connecticut Association of Community Transportation (CACT) submitted a list of 22 “shovel-ready” transit projects worth $18 million to Governor Rell and legislative committee members for consideration in the State of Connecticut’s request for President-Elect Obama’s federal economic stimulus funding. These projects will help provide safe, affordable and green bus transit service to state residents.
Public bus transit:
-helps businesses by getting employees to and from work;
-allows senior citizens and disabled individuals the flexibility to live at home;
-improves air quality by getting pollution emitting passenger cars off our roads;
-saves the state money by decreasing costs for nursing home care, pollution control, road maintenance and safety related costs.
Please act now! Contact Governor Rell, and state legislative leaders and urge them to include these projects in their request.
