Policy makers want to hear from their constituents.  Newspapers want to hear from their readers. 

Here are some ways you can make a difference with your keyboard or pen:

• Write a letter to your local paper
• Write to your state representatives
• Write to your Congressional representatives
• Provide input to government agencies during public comment periods
• Sign petitions that affect transportation options

Here are some ways you can make a difference with your voice:

• Attend local, regional, and statewide public meetings

To help you craft your argument, here are some talking points:

• Why we need more transportation options
• How transportation affects the economy
• Aging with dignity and independence
• What transportation means for health
• Community access for people of all ages and abilities
• How transportation affects the environment
