Federal Transportation Funding Needs Your Support

E-mail Print PDF

Transportation Enhancements and Safe Routes to School  are both due to be eliminated entirely unless bicyclists and pedestrians object.  These programs form the backbone of bicycle transportation planning, bicycle driver education, and infrastructure such as sidewalk, crosswalk and trails.

NW Arkansas Representative Steve Womack believes that roads are for cars, and that bicycling detracts from this important use.  The more constituents that tell Rep. Womack about bicycling for transportation, the more he will have to broaden his perspective.  See his Contact Page, today.  Quotes from Steve are listed below, and will demonstrate how your letter to Steve should not just mention the word bicycle, as he will automatically categorize your concern as recreational.  Start any letter to Representative Womack by saying you are writing about transportation and the economy, not about recreation. 

TAKE ACTION NOW by visiting http://americabikes.org/transportation2012/ or http://www.capwiz.com/lab/issues/alert/?alertid=60929976&type=TA

Even after this bill has been heard in committee, your voice is important to sway the Congress when the bill comes to the entire floor for a vote.  Your letter will make a difference. 

(To hear the latest Action Alerts, make sure you've signed up to be on our  list serve to keep you informed of when important bicycling votes come before Congress.)
