Why Congressman Pat Meehan needs to hear from you

All eyes are on Congressman Pat Meehan (PA-7). He sits on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, which will be voting on the new House Transportation bill next Thursday. The bill
strips out funding for biking and walking programs, but, thankfully an amendment will be introduced to restore the funding.

Will Congressman Meehan support the amendment? Only if he hears from his constituents that they want him to. If you live in PA-7 (not sure? Check here) please call Congressman Meehan and ask him to vote in favor of the amendment that restores funding to Transportation Enhancements and Safe Routes To School.


His District phone number is 610-690-7323 .


TE & Safe Routes to School funds brought $10.3 to pay for the following projects in Congressman Meehan's district (PA-7.)
