Tell Lawmakers to Fund a Transportation Package For ALL Oregonians

Oregon is about to make some big transportation decisions that will affect us for decades. Unfortunately, lawmakers are starting from a framework that falls dramatically short on what we need. We need fair funding, accountability, and more robust investments in safety, transit, and pollution reduction.

Tell your legislators that the stakes are too high to settle for less.

**Please Note: We recommend you send a separate email to your Senator AND Representative. Due to a system limitation, when you select both legislators’ at once, your email is sent to both parties with the uneditable salutation “Dear Senators / Representatives.”
