SUMMARY:Volunteer Doorknocking
DESCRIPTION:Pollution reduction. Transit funding without tax increase. Community input on infrastructure.\n\n\n\nJoin us doorknocking! We’ll be letting residents know about the Highway Justice Act.  \n\n\n\nSign Up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinnesota’s trunk highway system takes various forms\, from small-town main streets to large urban freeways\, and serves all transportation modes. These highways aren’t just for cars—they’re vital corridors that connect our communities\, whether we’re driving\, walking\, biking\, or taking public transit. How we currently interpret state law means that highway funding can only be used for car-related infrastructure\, even though our Constitution never specifically required this limitation. \n\n\n\nThe proposed legislation would clarify that highway funds can be used for all types of transportation infrastructure along highway corridors. The policy also puts us on par with climate and transportation leaders like Colorado\, who passed a similar policy in 2013. This change has strong public support—66% of Minnesotans favor using state and federal highway funding to improve various transportation options rather than just expanding highways. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it? Send an email to decision-makers. \n\n\n\nTake Action
