A partial federal government shutdown will occur on Friday, December 21 at midnight, if lawmakers can’t agree on funding critical agencies, like the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), before the crush of holiday travel.
 
Many dedicated federal employees—such as aviation safety inspectors—will be furloughed and many will continue to work, but without a paycheck, just before the holidays. PASS encourages all DOT and FAA employees and their colleagues in other affected agencies, to contact their member of Congress NOW, and ask them to avert a government shutdown.
