As the legislature continues to debate the various plans to address the road funding issue, individual legislators still want to hear from their local communities. A handful of legislators have scheduled transportation town hall meetings for the end of April/beginning of May, and we strongly encourage all MITA members to find a way to attend and participate. It is critical that individual legislators understand how local this issue should be for them, and the only way to successfully pass along that message is to have a strong industry showing at each and every town hall that takes place across our great state.
Three town hall meetings are coming up in the near future, and there are more being planned. Stay tuned, and keep your eye on the MITA website, as well as emails from Mariam Robinson, Outreach Coordinator, that will share updated information and details. If you are planning to attend any of the town hall meetings listed below, please email Mariam at mariamrobinson@mi-ita.com to RSVP.
