Example Text: "Dear ___, You are my local representative to the Yolo County Transportation District, and my representative in ___city___. I'm concerned that you might be voting to approve the I-80 freeway widening. There are better alternatives, and I hope you will push for them in your capacity on the Yolo Transportation District Board. It is obvious that the current approach will not improve our transportation system and is likely to worsen climate change. It is imperative that we stop the freeway widening so Yolo County can begin looking at better alternative project proposals! Please listen to the experts and vote against widening I-80."
Towards better transit in Yolo County!
