Thank you for your tireless work in getting this legislation passed even over the obstructionist practices of the Republican members. Combined with the Affordable Care Act, this may even begin to limit the effects of the continuing recession which has so damaged California. I'm proud to be a recovering Republican who supports you in your drive to make California great once again. Sincerely,
John, Diamond Bar

I would like to express my appreciation for all your efforts in passing this legislation.  I am the President of a local IBEW union whose members are electricians working for the passenger train service in the Oakland area.  I myself work for Amtrak in Oakland as an electrician.  We are adversely overwhelmed by what the opposition is trying to do with the use of change agents at our facility.  I mean to say the number of Republicans voicing opposition to our President and his policies is objectionable.  It is a breath of fresh air to see what you have done to get this bill through congress, congratulations to you and your fellow Congressmen. Very Truly Yours,
Sergei, Union City

I just wish to congratulate you and all those that vote with you for this most important and transformative Vote. Our Nation truly needs a face lift and with this strong impetus on transportation and infrastructure repair and renovation a new era of prosperity is on the way. Thanks for the immense effort you continuously make in our behalf as a nation and for those of us that live and love the State of California. Kind Regards,
Wade, Playa Del Rey

I am pleased that the bill provides some funding for bicycling and pedestrian projects, but VERY disappointed that it was not fully funded. The incremental amount for this type of project is minimal.

Thank you so much for the hard work in pushing the bipartisan approval of this bill. More jobs for Americans now would make it possible for the people to look forward to a bright and economically stable future with a sold middle class.

The fact that the new transportation bill gutted complete streets, bicycle, pedestrian, and Safe Routes to School funds is a big problem. These kinds of projects have a very hard time finding funding to begin with. Federal funds were *vital* to making our streets safer for all users. The new transportation bill is not something that should be celebrated. Sincerely,
Emily, San Francisco
