SUPPORT CDTA

Dom Calsolaro abd Dennis Karius
are on the mark regarding the 
value and importance of CDTA
to local residents.

However not because of climate
change and over use of fossil fuels.

CDTA uses clean air, gas powered
buses which improves air quality.

Dear Assemblyman McDonald,

The proposed 2015/16 Executive Budget does not have an increase in funding for CDTA, or the other upstate public transportation authorities. Yet, the Governor has proposed funding to keep Thruway tolls at their current rates and massive amounts of money for NYC transportation-related projects.

With the budget hearings now going on, and I think transportation is scheduled for today, I am asking that you make the case for fair and equitable funding for CDTA. Many people of low income depend on CDTA to get to their jobs and to get to medical appointments, etc. It is unfair, in my opinion, to supplement vehicles traveling on the Thruway, many from out-of-state, with State taxpayers' dollars, while those most in need of public transportation see no increase in State aid for public transit operations.

In addition, the use of public transportation helps with the issues related to climate change and our over-reliance on fossil fuels.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Dominick Calsolaro

Climate change is beyond the control of humans. An abundance of fossil
fuels is a blessing, not a curse.

Buses are of great benefit and convenience to low income residents and
help reduce traffic congestion in urban places. CDTA also provides good
jobs to local residents.

Due to the excessive use of road salt our roads, trees, bridges, vehicles
and homes, as well as our personal health are adversely impacted.

The day will come when more people will use clean air buses because
they can't afford the price of a car.

Keep the CDTA rolling.  Drill for NY natural gas.
