Ask Sen.
Lautenberg of New Jersey to Sustain
Bicycling and Walking Funding
Sign your name to our constituent
letter
We need your help: the
future of funding for Safe Routes to School, trails, walking and
bicycling in America is in serious jeopardy. Some Senators and
Representatives are pushing to eliminate key bicycle and pedestrian
programs, even though they are funded at less than two cents of
every transportation dollar and have tremendous impacts on their
communities.
New Jersey's Senator Lautenberg sits on
the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and has made clear
he supports trails, walking and bicycling.
Now, we need you-as a New Jersey
constituent-to urge Senator Lautenberg to take the
next step:
- Simply add your name to our constituents'
letter* to ask Senator Lautenberg to lead the
charge to sustain bicycling and walking funding.
We will compile all the signatures and deliver to Senator
Lautenberg both in New Jersey and in
DC.
- And, please pass this alert on to all
your colleagues, friends and family members in New
Jersey. This is one of the biggest
fights we've had in years-and every signature is absolutely
critical to our success.
Make no mistake: if we lose this battle,
communities all around the country will find it extremely difficult,
if not impossible, to build the sidewalks, crosswalks, trails and
bike lanes they need.
Thank you for your help!
Deb Hubsmith, Director, Safe Routes to
School National Partnership
* P.S. This letter is being circulated by
several bicycling and walking groups as part of a large-scale effort
to communicate the breadth of support for Safe Routes to School,
trails, walking and bicycling.
