Did You Know?
As legislators return from Easter Break they need to hear from you that Minnesota needs to pass strategic and sustained funding of roads, bridges and transit.
Contact your legislators and tell them we need to:
- Increase long-term investment in roads, bridges, and transit
- Generate new resources through efficiencies, bonding, use of transportation-related revenues from the general fund and adjustments to the depreciation schedule for passenger vehicle tab fees
- Identify metro funding for build-out of the metro’s transit system
