This is amazing!!!
Just added Champaign Urbana!

This is based on a fairly loose interpretation of 'public transportation hub' that I will elaborate on in my notebook

Can we actually get a transit bill done at the very last minute??? File a witness slip to help!!!
It’s witness slip time! 🚨

Transit funding bill SB2111 has been assigned to committee and we need folks to file witness slips as PROPONENT immediately!

The attached graphic provides guidance for submitting a slip.

Legalize walkability, so we can spend more time with friends!
Walkability makes it easier to connect with friends and neighbors, but it's illegal to build in the U.S.

Let's change that.
