> ** EMPOWER! Advocacy
> ------------------------------------------------------------
> 
> Take action TODAY!
> 
> State Legislature moving latest harmful transit legislation SB1246
> 
> Protect our regional transit system and avoid a $99.5 million annual budget cut to our regional transit operations.
> 
> What's new?
> Since our last Empower! Rep. Cook held a special meeting agenda for the House Transportation Committee and an amendment to SB1246 was adopted.
> 
> Why is this bad for transit?
> The adopted SB1246 amendment sets the Prop. 400E transit allocation at 26%, which is less than the 33.3% transit allocation that has been in place since the voters approved Prop. 400 and less than the 40.4% transit allocation unanimously adopted by the mayors for the Prop. 400E plan.
> 
> This will have a devastating impact on our regional transit system, including buses and paratransit.
> 
> What can you do to help?
> Tell your Story!  Tell Legislators how you use public transportation and what it means to you.
> Urge them to either increase the transit allocation in SB1246 to 40.4 percent or oppose the bill.
>
