trains, not lanes.
homes, not highways.

Happy Friday!

If you didn't send your letter to CAMPO telling them to remove I-35 funding from their budget (which they're voting on soon), now is the time!

urban freeway megaprojects aren't just exorbitantly expensive boondoggles eating funding for transit and basic road maintenance - they're also robbing us of the funding necessary for critical non-transportation needs like education and affordable housing.

the TxDOT Austin freeway widening costs that Austin has to cover are absolutely insane compared to things that actually improve the lives of Austinites.

good clarification on the obscene scale of the money being poured into the I35 expansion in relation to the *entire AISD budget*

'Kimble deals with fundamental questions of how we form communities and choose to co-exist with each other. ... Kimble’s book doesn’t offer any false promises of easy victories, but it compels us to search for a better way.'

We believe the majority of Texans want something better. Let's activate and make our voices heard.

Start here by telling CAMPO to _NOT_ fund I-35 expansion:

If you don't want more of all of these things...get your letter into CAMPO asking them to not fund the expansion of I-35! actionnetwork.org/letters/campo-…

Some state electeds have expressed interest in Megan Kimble's 'City Limits' book - 'A convincing case for removing highways and shaping cities meant for people, not cars.'

We need $32.47 - DM if you can help, thanks!

LOL...don't we all have these conversations with ourselves?

rethink35.org/campo -> DO IT NOW!

I-35 corridor next

TEXANSEN INCOMING

*Cries in Austin* 🥲 I’m still happy if true. Any bullet train that matches what Japan has would be absolutely incredible to give people anywhere in Texas and America more and competitive choices to get around. 🤠

Budgets are moral documents.

I-35 expansion is not only outrageously costly, but signs us up for costly maintenance on it....forever? This is money that could be spent on other more efficient transit projects.
