Transportation For America Helps Decode Elections

Election years can be overwhelming for a lot of people. Who to vote for? Which candidate or initiative will set the tone for progress in the months and years to come? And what will happen to our already- crumbling infrastructure if we make the wrong choices?

Transportation for America wants to help make the issues and candidates easier to understand. The policy group builds grassroots support for federal, state, and local government laws that support progressive transportation and land use policy. They're starting a campaign called 'Transportation Vote 2012' that will help educate voters, advocates and candidates and keep you abreast of transportation-related campaigns as they unfold.


The campaign offers a series of online presentations, interviews with experts and lessons learned that will help individuals and non-profit groups talk about transportation effectively; and engage in educating candidates around transportation reform and infrastructure investment.
