Dear Stephen,
Federal support for bicycling is in trouble, again. The U.S. House and
Senate have released bills that would reverse 20 years of progress
toward making bicycling safe and stress-free for all Americans.
The current Senate transportation bill eliminates essential biking
and walking programs. To improve the bill, weâre asking senators
to vote for a bipartisan amendment that guarantees our local governments a
voice in transportation decisions, allowing them to build bikeways and
sidewalks that keep people safe.
Take action today to help preserve the successful, cost-effective
federal investment in biking. Contact your stateâs two U.S. senators to
encourage them to vote for the Cardin-Cochran amendment. (You
can find your senators, review basic suggested text for your email, and
send your note directly from this link above.) You can read more about
the Cardin-Cochran amendment here.
Thank you for speaking up to save bicycling,
Tim Blumenthal Director, Peopleforbikes.org |
