Quick Take: Liias on transit funding

Funding for transit is just one of many local government budget casualties families are facing right now. The cuts come at a bad time for families looking to save money by utilizing transit, and Liias predicts action will need to be made this session or the ongoing effects will be devastating.

“Communities are strengthened by the availability of quality transportation choices. Transit and other options, like biking and walking, reduce pollution and congestion, helps our economy, and improves everyone’s quality of life. We must maintain committed to transit and improving our community.”
