Call your (CA) legislators now - ask them to support funding for transit and HSR!
Once more, it’s budget crunch time in Sacramento and the powers that be seem to be following the Governor’s “lead” and intend to reduce funding for both High Speed Rail and Transit in general.
…the news is not good. If you don’t want to see HSR dead in a week please mobilize people to make calls now!It is looking like some $900 million out of $1.3 B that had originally been coming due to public transit is may be diverted, leaving transit with only $400 M. HSR was hoping to get funded out of that pot. If public transit only gets $400 M then it will be difficult for HSR to get $50 M out of that.
[…]
In any case if you want HSR, tell them now and also tell them to support higher levels of funding for public transit.
