            Dear Jacob, 

            This is it!  Next week is a critical week of the Legislative Session. The Transit-Oriented Communities bill (HB 1490) will be up for a House floor vote by Wednesday.  

            House Bill 1490 would create affordable, walkable communities connected by transit for Washington's families and has strong support from both the Environmental Priorities Coalition and the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance.  
           

             Transit-Oriented Communities bill up for vote.


            Legislative Hot Line: (800) 562-6000 
           
     
      We are so close!  But we need your help in this final push.  HB 1490 has passed out of the necessary committees and now needs to pass out of the House. Can you pick up the phone right now and urge your State Representatives to vote for Transit-Oriented Communities (HB 1490)?

      Legislative Hot Line: (800) 562-6000 (open 8 a.m.- 8 p.m.) 

      Take a moment now to call your legislators and tell them "to support the Transit Oriented Communities Bill (HB 1490)."  Your call will push them towards supporting the bill.
