were followed by direct visits in Washington and state offices. In the end,
each of these senators understood the
connection between public transportation investment and private sector
jobs. Of the 20 senators included in
this effort, only three voted "no" on
the Jones-McSally amendment. The
amendment protected transit agencies
from a $1.2-billion cut to funding in
Fiscal Year 2020. In advocacy, progress is incremental.
Building from this effort, in 2020
the BMBG Legislative Committee has
identified six states that will be the
focus for reauthorization advocacy
and where there was a "no" vote on
the Jones-McSally Amendment. It is
our belief that direct efforts from the
business community will favorably influence future transit-related voting.
In other words, this is a focused effort
by the business community to connect
the dots between transit-related pro-
grams and private sector jobs within
each respective state and especially
those states with ranking members
on key committees.
Using APTA's Public Transportation Industry Footprint Tool https://
w w w.apta.com/research-technical-resources/industry-footprint/, the
BMBG identifies all business members
within the targeted states along with a
champion to coordinate written communication and in-person meetings
with members of Congress. Advocacy efforts will be scheduled during
the APTA Legislative Conference in
March followed by the Business Member Fly In scheduled for June 3, 2020.
The objective of this outreach is to ensure that members of Congress and
their staff understand the connection
between public transit funding and
private sector employment.
Our primary goal as APTA business members is to facilitate the growth

of long-term, sustainable and reliable
funding for public transportation in
the United States. To that end, the
BMBG is laser focused on efforts to
secure votes in support of pro-transit
legislation. The BMBG is a powerful
player in advocacy because we are collectively stronger than any individual
company and we have an obligation to
support the industry from which we
all benefit.
