GoBurgh's Advocacy Update

Since the spring of 2013, GoBurgh has coordinated a transit advocacy coalition including a dozen local organizations deeply committed to seeing adequate, dedicated, growing, long-term, and reliable state funding for public transit. Despite a strong bill passed by the Senate in June (SB1), the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has not yet taken action to secure sustainable transportation funding.To mobilize citizens and encourage legislative action, our transit advocacy coalition undertook a number of activities in September: public outreach at the Labor Day Parade and Park(ing) Day, a webinar, a press conference at the Kenmawr Bridge, and a business-labor event in Harrisburg. Many organizations and individuals have come together to tell our legislators that we need transportation funding for the safety of Pennsylvania’s citizens and the endurance of its economy.Individuals and organizations are encouraged to continue to spread the message that Pennsylvania needs the original Senate Bill 1 (Senate version).
