You can start by researching online resources that could provide the information you need on how to petition your local government, and crafting an intelligible argument as to why public transportation is necessary for your area. You could also take advantage of local community organizations and network with other individuals who may be willing to help promote your cause.

You can start a petition by creating a clear and compelling description of the issue, along with an inspiring call to action, outlining why increased funding for public transportation is necessary. Once you have crafted the text of your petition, begin sharing it on your social media accounts, utilize email lists and talk to family and friends about signing it. When sufficient signatures have been collected (usually around 5% of those registered to vote in your district), you will need to format the paperwork accordingly and submit it for consideration by local government representatives.
