Think Local: Who's in Your Backyard? Connecting with T&I Committee Members
The late Tip O'Neill, longtime speaker of the House, famously said "all politics is local" as a way to signify that the success of federal lawmakers is directly connected to their ability to understand their constituents and act in local voters' best interests--a political truism at the heart of APTA's Stand Up for Transportation Day, April 9.
As the national advocacy day takes shape--and as MAP-21 is set to expire on May 31--many APTA members are working to schedule visits with their elected leaders on April 9, when Congress is on spring recess in their home districts.
Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee are especially important to engage, said APTA Chair Phillip Washington, general manager and chief executive officer of the Denver Regional Transportation District.
"As the expiration of MAP-21 rapidly approaches on May 31, we need to take every advantage to convince Congress that now is the time to craft the multi-year bill we need--the bill the nation needs," Washington said. "It's time to work together--Republicans and Democrats, Congress and the White House, states and cities--to close our nation's embarrassingly massive infrastructure deficit--now at $88 billion--and to invest in systems across the nation.
"I encourage every APTA member to commit to an event on April 9 and invite their elected leaders," he added. "The clock is ticking. Stand Up for Transportation Day is our urgent wakeup call to Congress."
