Save Bicycle and Pedestrian Funding

After months and months of stops and starts, the federal transportation bill is moving in earnest in the U.S. House and Senate.

On Thursday, February 2, the House Transportation Committee will vote on the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, a bill that 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 communities across the country. This is truly a truly critical period; we urge you to take action.

Bicycling and Walking in the United States: 2012 Benchmarking Report

This report (view) shows that increasing bicycling and walking is clearly in the public interest; use the data to make the case for funding bicycling and pedestrian improvements. Contact elected officials and your local media about the importance of bike/ped funding to communities. Use information from the report and include examples of good project outcomes or the bad things (injuries, deaths) that could have been avoided through bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
