Take Action
Action in the 2012 General Assembly
House Bill 1073 – Public Mass Transportation
Bill Summary Info, Background and FAQs
Join the coalition of partners calling on the 2012 Indiana General Assembly to authorize voter referenda that would allow communities to create dedicated and adequate funding for transit design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Sign the petition and ask your company and other groups to which you belong (service clubs, neighborhood associations and religious organizations) to adopt a resolution showing support. Help us show state legislators that Hoosiers support robust transit systems across Indiana!
We will keep you informed of specific ways you can support this broader effort, but we also encourage you to continue communicating the simple 3-point ICAT message at every possible opportunity:
-
We need more transit
-
We need more funding for transit
-
We need more local funding options for transit

Why Take Action: Again and again, transit advocates are told by legislators that transit is not an important issue to them because they don’t ever hear about it from their constituents! Although there are numerous organizations across the state advocating for transit development, legislators need to hear from voters, taxpayers & transit riders – not just interest groups.
