Bradford Regional Airport Manager Alicia Dankesreiter said, “Congress is now deciding next year’s transportation appropriations, and your voice is critical. We urge you to write to the Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies in both the House and Senate and demand full funding for the EAS program. Let lawmakers know that rural connectivity is not optional — it’s essential.”

Letters of support should be sent to:

• Honorable James Clyburn, House Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies, H-305 The Capitol, Washington, DC 20515; and
• Honorable Steve Womack, Senate Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies, Room S-128, The Capitol, Washington, DC 20510.

To receive a sample letter, contact Dankesreiter at alicia@bradfordairport.net. In addition to mailing the letter, digital copies can be sent to naomi.walker@mail.house.gov and copied to alicia@bradfordairport.net so they can be submitted to the Department of Transportation as part of the official correspondence.
