Act Today for Trail Funding in Transportation Bill

Live in Pierce County? You could make the difference in a Washington State legislative vote on the transportation package that will help fund outdoor recreation.

In the waning days of the special session, the legislature is considering a transportation package that could increase the gas tax by 10.5 cents, allocating a portion of that to outdoor recreation. The transportation package would accomplish this by ensuring that NOVA and other fuel-tax funded recreation programs get their fair share of the fuel tax.

> It's a great opportunity, but it is one vote shy in the Senate!
