Make three quick calls this weekend (before Monday at 10) to save Project Connect! Just call these 3 numbers and say (likely on voicemail) that you oppose SB 2519. The state should not override the will of Austin voters for transit! More info: docs.google.com/document/d/1od…

This week, Transit Forward joined forces with our partners at the Capitol to defend local control and protect Austin’s transit future from harmful legislation moving through committee. We’re watching every bill, sounding the alarm, and standing up for the vision voters approved.

I'm proud to stand with our entire Central Texas state delegation in urging Austin to pass Cap and Stitch. Reconnecting communities is how we right historic wrongs, cast a vote aligned with our values, and build a city worthy of our future. Let’s lead.

You can easily see where the money is going in ATP's budget, but audited financials aren't as sexy as asking mysterious questions: atptx.org/resources/annu… Why do they ask questions they can Google? Is someone paying them to tweet like this? Are they secretly Soviet spies?

Nothing to show? How about the McKalla Rail Station, Pleasant Valley Metro Rapid Bus Line, Expo Center Metro Rapid Bus Line, Red Line Rail double-tracking project, and 12 new neighborhood on-demand pickup services. Plus, Light Rail is on its final stage of federal approval.
