Omaha is considering building a $700-800 million beltway system that will focus on transportation needs outside of the city, rather than in it. If you stand for a transportation plan that provides for the improvement and maintenance of existing infrastructure, encourages sustainable public transportation options, and benefits Omahans of every demographic sector, click here and sign your name to this VOICE-sponsored petition to make your voice heard. Once you’ve signed the petition, use the forwarding function and send it to everyone you know who stands with you and VOICE on this issue.
The results of the petition will be shared with civic leaders and representatives of the MAPA transportation planning board. Together we can ensure that Omaha is a vibrant community now — and for generations to come.
