Transportation for America, a broad national coalition focused on improving the country’s transportation policy (Tri-State is a member), kicks off its Transportation Vote 2012 webinar series tomorrow at 2pm EDT.

The series aims to help individuals and non-profit groups understand how to use elections to effectively advocate for smart transportation policy that emphasizes maintenance of our existing road and bridge infrastructure, enhances transit service, and promotes biking and walking. Tomorrow’s introductory session, “Engaging in Elections for Non-Profit Organizations,” will cover different educational activities that 501c3 non-profit groups can pursue to make transportation an issue in elections. The webinar will also feature Abby Levine, Legal Director of Advocacy Programs at Alliance for Justice, who will provide an overview of the legal aspects of electoral advocacy.

The webinars are free and open to all. To register, click here.
