Accommodate that kind of demand driven by change and growth unless we invest in transportation today. And specifically public transport. Of course more people means more people trying to get to work and because this is america it also means more people starting and growing businesses and they will need to connect to workers. A very recent example. When the big blizzard in january shutdown bostons Public Transportation Massachusetts General Hospital had a real problem.

The federal government has helped with some of that. But its also got to be a ride that appeals to people. Theyve got to be able to put their bicycle on the front, which they currently cant, hop on the bus, go to work, take their bike

Cr q was one very importantr mess t however, he wanted to be with you today to share. And that is to thank each of you for coming to washington and to visit with your members of congress. Hes been to the hill many times himself over the past year, and hes worked hard to share with lawmakers the stark facts and a sense of urgency. Hes explained how were investing much less than we should be in transportation. Hes warned that because of that disinvestment, weve fallen behind on repairs, something we have to addressq even as we plan for the new capacity we must have for growing demand. But these same arguments carry so much more weight when they come from you. You are able to speak in concrete terms about communities that are struggling to stay on the move. Large ones and small ones, urban and rural red and blue. That context matters. When states l
