Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson joined passengers & workers for nationwide ‘National Transit Voter Week’ to mobilize riders to vote & draw attention to importance of safe and reliable public transportation.
Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson recently supported National Transit Voter Week by joining passengers, transit workers and advocates at a rally at DART West End Transit Center and took a ride on DART to mobilize riders to vote and draw attention to the vital role public transportation plays in the Dallas economy.
Congresswoman Johnson, a Senior Texan on the House Transportation Committee, spoke at the rally pledging her support for funding for mass transit.
“Many of my constituents really rely on public transportation to get to and from work, the doctor, school, shops, and other daily tasks. Mass transit keeps our community moving, which is critical for businesses throughout our region. That’s why I strongly support funding that will ensure that we will continue to have safe, reliable mass transit here in Dallas and in communities like ours across the nation,” said Congresswoman Johnson.
The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) held this event as a part of an ongoing Get Out the Vote campaign to encourage transit riders to vote on November 6, and to highlight transportation issues in this election.
