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.

**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.”
