Today, the New York City MTA proposed another fare and toll hike to manage a projected $900 million deficit next year. To avoid service cuts, according to WNYC , MTA head Lee Sander is "going begging everywhere, to Governor Paterson, Mayor Bloomberg, the federal government, and riders." But in many other cities across the country, service cuts due to budget shortfalls are unavoidable. Ironically, communities are cutting services just when use of public transit is at a 50-year high due to skyrocketing gasoline prices (see map ). To avoid cutting these crucially important services, public transit systems urgently need federal help. Consider this plea for help from the State of Pennsylvania : Public transit systems … are experiencing increased ridership. … However, Pennsylvania lacks a stable, dedicated Funding source for public transit and revenues fail to keep pace with operating costs. … Without a dedicated Funding source, many of Pennsylvania's 73 public transit systems will be forced to make drastic cuts in service that will have a negative economic affect on local economies because workers will have difficulty getting to jobs, schools, doctor’s offices and stores. The same thing is happening in Cleveland . According to the Regional Transit Authority head Joe Calabrese, ridership is up 10 percent, but fares don't cover the cost of diesel fuel: We may have to cut more service because we have to pay for the diesel fuel.

The wildfires that are blazing through California are not only dangerous, but they are very resource-intensive. The cost of containing and fighting these fires is getting out of hand. The U.S. House has just passed a piece of legislation designed to address the cost of fighting Emergency wildfires. The Federal Land Assistance, Management and Enhancement (FLAME) Act, H.R. 5541, provides a source of Funding for Emergency fires and dictates a plan for paying back any funds that are borrowed from other programs. Now, it's the Senate's turn to make sure this legislation is passed, and that there are minimal Funding constraints for the Forest Service to get the job done. ...

Due to the major scope and consequence of these early season fires, wildland fire suppression costs for the U.S Forest Service are expected to greatly surpass the 10-year suppression average and the Fiscal Year 2008 non-Emergency appropriation of $845.62 million. With the bulk of the fire season still to come, the U.S. Forest Service has already expended $704 million, more than half of the $1.2 billion in available funds and, if agencies have to continue spending suppression funds at this rate, they may experience budget deficits to run in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Thanks to your support, $450 million was included in the Senate-passed Supplemental to meet these needs, but not in the bill the President signed into law last week. ...
