Dear State Legislators,

I am reaching out to encourage your support for Proposed Bill No. 5479 – An Act Concerning Funding for the Encompass Transportation Program. This vital program ensures seniors and individuals with disabilities have access to reliable transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and community engagement—allowing them to maintain their independence and quality of life.

Lack of adequate funding would put these essential services at risk, leaving many residents without viable alternatives. I urge you to support this bill and advocate for the necessary funding to keep this program operational.

Additionally, I want to make you aware that many community members are advocating for this bill, as seen in the following petition:

Thank you for your time and for your dedication to supporting our communities. I appreciate your leadership and consideration of this important issue.
