 If you want to take action to increase equitable access to public lands and parks, please, support the Transit to Trails Act you can do so here: https://sc.org/3jrr37G

Below is the wording in the Sierra Club petition. It is always a good idea to add a personal comment. 

Please Become a Cosponsor of the Transit to Trails Act (H.R. 2924 and S. 1461)

I urge you to cosponsor the Transit to Trails Act, a bill that seeks to reduce barriers between people and nature by providing new grant funding from the Department of Transportation for transportation systems to and from underserved communities and public lands.

Everyone, regardless of their zip code, should have the opportunity to enjoy our nation's vast network of national parks and publicly protected lands. Outdoor recreation contributes more than $750 billion to our economy, yet access to our nation's public lands is limited to people who own a car.

The positive effects of nature have been proven, and everyone should be able to enjoy our public lands. Accessible transportation options help achieve this.

Please join your colleagues in Congress to advance outdoor opportunities for all communities by co-sponsoring and supporting the Transit to Trails Act.
