Ask Your Representative to Preserve Biking and Walking

Take <http://capwiz.com/lab/utr/1/FNCIRGNFCW/GHNERGPBDO/7841981806>  Action!

Transportation Committee votes on biking and walking funding next week

On Thursday, February 2, we expect the House Transportation Committee to
vote on the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, a bill that
eliminates crucial funds for biking and walking.  As a Member of the
Committee, your representative is in a key position to save dedicated
funding for biking and walking.  Please contact them today and ask them to
vote to preserve biking and walking.

The American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, the long awaited multi year
Transportation bill, eliminates the two largest programs that fund biking
and walking infrastructure-Transportation Enhancements and Safe Routes to
School.  Without these programs, communities all over the country will lose
resources to build the sidewalks, crosswalks, and bikeways that make biking
and walking safe and accessible in your community.

We can't let that happen.

That's why we're working to introduce an amendment that will preserve
funding for biking and walking. During Thursday's vote, your representative
could be the key to making sure that this amendment passes in the
Transportation Committee. Will you contact them today to ask that they vote
to preserve funding for biking and walking in the transportation bill?

Tell them:

*       Biking and walking make up 12 percent of all trips, but only 1.5
percent of federal funding.
*       Two out of three pedestrian deaths take place on roads built with
federal funding.  Ensuring funds for sidewalks, crosswalks, and bikeways
help end preventable deaths and make roads safer for everyone.
*       When town centers are biking and walking friendly, business and
economic development improves.  

Thank you for all that you do to keep bicycling and walking safe and
accessible.
