Transportation PAC

GIVE LIKE YOUR JOB DEPENDS ON IT …
BECAUSE IT DOES.

SMART TRANSPORTATION DIVISION’S POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE.

SMART Transportation Division (formerly United Transportation Union or UTU) members, active and retired, need and deserve good government and sympathetic legislators. That’s because, compared with others, our jobs, pensions and futures are more directly affected by the actions of state and national lawmakers.

SMART TD and our members must work for and help candidates whom we feel are capable and knowledgeable and who recognize the problems that affect airline, bus, rail and transit workers.

The best way to help elect representatives who understand the concerns of SMART TD members is by contributing to SMART TD PAC.

The best way to have a voice in matters that affect your finances and your family is by contributing to SMART TD PAC.
