Let's weigh in on the work our US DOT can be doing to address the opportunities in public transit and transportation. What do you think the USA should be doing to put our tax dollars to its best use to improve upon the transportation available to all of us citizens and our traveling visitors?

On Thursday, December 15 the Federal Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity (FACTE) will be meeting. While the meeting is scheduled to last a mere two and a half hours and includes a presentation by Secretary Foxx and a briefing on FACA rules and ethics, the bulk of the meeting will be a discussion of transportation equity. The purpose of the Committee is to provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation on comprehensive, interdisciplinary issues related to transportation equity from a variety of stakeholders involved in transportation planning, design, research, policy, and advocacy.
If you feel strongly enough about the inequities of our current transportation system to let the members of FACTE know the inequities, please write something up and email it to Barbara McCann at equity@dot.gov. You have until 2:30 pm EST on Monday, December 12 to get you comments before the committee. I strongly urge you to spend some time this weekend thinking about transportation equity. Best place to do it might be walking on a state road in the snow between any two municipalities that are, say 10 miles apart. That particular five or six hours of walking will help clarify your thinking.
There are some rules for your comments that you need to abide by. They are:
Each page of the comment or statement must include the author’s name, title or affiliation, address, email address and daytime phone number.
