PUBLIC TRANSIT EMERGENCY!!!! View this email in your browser HOUSE BILLS WOULD DEVASTATE PUBLIC TRANSIT IN MICHIGAN

CALL KEY LEADERS TODAY!

Details below. Public Transit EMERGENCY!!! State Public Transportation Funding is being threatened with massive cuts.



Right now, several key leaders need to be called to let them know that you don't want to see cuts to public transportation.



If these cuts go though this would result in cuts at TheRide of approximately $1,968,099 annually, or nearly half the amount raised by the Five-Year Transit Improvement Plan.



The Leadership Quadrant and the Governor need to hear from you!



Here is what you can say:



"As you look for a resolution to transportation funding you MUST include full funding for public transportation. Cuts to transit funding will be bad for my business and bad for my workers. Cuts to transit funding would make it hard for our state to keep competitive and attract the employees we need to stay vibrant."



Here are the names and phone numbers of the people you can contact:



Leadership Quadrant and Govenor:



Speaker Jase Bolger: 517.373.1787



Minority Leader Tim Greimel: 517.373.0475



Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville: 517.373.3543



Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer: 517.373.1734

If you have any questions on this issue or if you would like to register your call/thoughts with TheRide, please email Deb Freer at DFreer@TheRide.org.



Thank you for your continued support of public transportation options.



Sincere thanks,
