Rising gas prices are putting pressure on family budgets. Vehicle emissions are polluting the air we breathe and dangerously warming the planet. We're spending more time sitting in traffic. And San Antonio's population is exploding as transportation funding dries up.

It's time for a community conversation about how we meet San Antonio's future transportation needs in a sustainable and affordable way.

Please join Rep. Villarreal at one of his upcoming Community Dialogues on local transportation challenges and potential solutions, including light rail.

This will be our second Community Dialogue on local transportation challenges and solutions.

Please RSVP to mike@leaderslisten.org or (210) 734-8937

To share your views on transportation, please take our online survey.

Representative Villarreal will give openings remarks as the Center for Public Policy Priorities presents the State of Texas Children 2008-2009.
