Here’s the truth about transit.
We passed a plan that would use existing, excess funds in the Public Transportation Trust Fund to finance two years of additional operating expenses while the benefits of our reforms take hold.
With billions of new dollars flowing into the transit fund every year, there is no reason to think our plan would jeopardize a single asset improvement project anywhere in the Commonwealth. Period.
Online crimes like sextortion are on the rise, and the consequences for young people can be catastrophic. 98% of these crimes go unreported.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has a CyberTipline to report these crimes at www.missingkids.org.
We’ve been consistent in our position on transit for months. We’re willing to work on the other side’s priorities if they work on ours, including safety, accountability and fiscal responsibility. The transportation plan rejected by House Democrats could have achieved these goals.
If parents, guardians, teachers, coaches or other caretakers are looking for tools to keep their kids safe online, many reputable organizations are available to help.
