11 OCT 2008: Ask presidential candidates to include transportation issues in final debate
Transportation for America has an interesting campaign going on to introduce 21st century transportation issues into the presidential campaign.They write:
America's transportation system is half a century behind—causing unnecessary pollution, expense, and congestion.
We need our next president to lead an initiative to invest in public transit, high-speed trains, places to bike and walk, and green innovation. We need a president with a plan to strengthen our economy, create jobs, reduce our dependence on oil, and make it easier for Americans to find the money to meet their growing transportation needs.
Fill out the fields below to urge John McCain and Barack Obama to discuss their plans to build a 21st Century transportation system in their remarks at the final presidential debate.
