URGENT message from the Coalition:

"Potholes. Missing . Deadly intersections. Many of the worst roads and streets in California are in its poorest neighborhoods due to decades of neglect and underinvestment.

"The -First Funding Act (AB 1525, Bonta) is critical to rebalancing California’s transportation spending priorities, dedicating at least 60% of our transportation budget to the communities that need it most.

"And it’s in danger of dying this Friday, May 19th.

"The Assembly Appropriations Committee has the power to quietly kill bills that a few powerful politicians don’t like. If AB 1525 doesn’t move from this committee by May 19, it dies. Tell the Appropriations Committee to pass transportation funding for all. It just takes a minute to send an email, and your voice makes a difference."
