If your Member of Congress is on the committee, it is important to let your Representative and/or Senators know that you support funding for RTP.

The House version includes $503 million over 6 years for the program, while the Senate version proposes $360 million over the same time period. If your Representative is on the committee, ARRA encourages you to write to your Representative and/or Senators to urge them to support the RTP program in the TEA-21 bill. Act NOW by clicking below!
