Sample Letter: I urge you to support transit funding and reform now.  Millions of people depend on transit every day to reach work, go to the doctor or attend school.  For thousands of individuals, transit is their only option. Those with an option to use personal transportation add to the pollution and congestion in our area.  Please support transit funding and reform legislation.  Massive service cuts and fare increases are not a fair option.  Please act now to avoid these measures.  Transit is critical for our region and we cannot wait any longer for a comprehensive solution.
