The ATU supports increased mass transit as a way to move our countries to energy independence.

The ATU is the leading advocate for transit workers on the national level.  Through lobbying and grassroots advocacy, the ATU advances the interests of our members by promoting legislation to increase investment in public transportation, protect the safety and security of our members, enhance employee rights at the workplace, expand access to health care, and otherwise advance the cause of ATU members and all working men and women.

On The Road Toward Energy Independence

Transit is essential to our nation's quest to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  The ATU's 2007 Federal Legislative Agenda urges policy makers to increase investment in public transportation as part of a larger strategy to achieve energy independence.
