I’m wary of risking bike-blog overdose, not to mention making readers’ eyes glaze over with yet another call to action on behalf of funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects. It’s just that the House Republicans keep insisting that the new federal transportation bill, which will determine transportation funding and policy for many years, should not include even the previously small amount set aside to help fund local bicycle and pedestrian projects. Whatever your partisan leanings otherwise, eliminating this funding would have a major negative impact on the promotion of cycling and walking, including for school children through the popular Safe Routes to School program.
So, if you have a minute, go one last time (hopefully) to this link at the League of American Bicyclists and let your senators and representative know that you consider this funding vital.
