So far, so good...perhaps a train system in Durham is closer than we think (touch wood)...

    Dear
Melissa,

Big
victory for transit funding!
Share your thoughts in the Green
Room.
We
won!
This
afternoon, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Nadler,
DeFazio, Lipinski, Ellison, McMahon public transit amendment to
the House stimulus bill.
This
will add $3 billion in transit capital funding, a 33%
increase.
The
money will help get buses, trains, and rural vanpools moving
now, and it will generate real jobs fast—from pouring
concrete for bus depots to assembling transit vehicles and
laying steel for rail track.
The
EDF Action Network community helped make it happen.
Thanks to nearly 20,000 of you who jumped at the
chance to email and call your members of Congress, we made our
voices heard—and it made a huge difference!
I
can't thank you enough.
Now
our efforts will be directed to the Senate, which is expected to
take up the stimulus bill next week.
In
the meantime, thank you for your support. This is a great win
for the environment and American workers.
Thank you,
Michael Replogle
Transportation
Director
P.S.
Please share your thoughts on
today's victory in the Green Room
