Contact legislators and urge them to Fix 14 Now!

Time is running out. There are only 3 weeks left in the session, but the Legislature still does not appear any closer to reaching a compromise on transportation. The Republicans show no sign of supporting new revenue for transportation, while the Democrats show no sign of accepting a package without new revenue. They have not discussed any compromises on transit funding.

So far, the conference committee has met twice—once to review what happened in 2015, and once to look at public-private partnership policy. There has been no public discussion of new revenues for highways or for Corridors of Commerce.

With the clock winding down, now is the time when we need you to contact our Highway 14 legislators, legislative leaders and the conference committee members and urge them to FIX 14 NOW!

Message

Here is a sample email:

Dear Legislator,

Highway maintenance needs are real and urgent. Expansion of U.S. Highway 14 is needed now for economic growth, safety and quality of life.

What is your compromise proposal? What are you willing to offer the other side? How can the House, Senate and Governor WORK TOGETHER to solve this problem?

Thank you, and help us to FIX 14 NOW!
