[ [ [ !! WARNING !! ] ] ] Posts consist of the irate rantings of a former graduate student who has spent the past several years studying philosophy, religions, ethics, public health, and environmental issues. Now working as a clinical researcher and trying to remain sane between the hours of 9-5. Topics will generally involve cycling, food, design, cool gear, and whatever else might come to mind. Enjoy.
Next Thursday, the House Transportation Committee will vote on the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, a bill that eliminates crucial funds for biking and walking. Representatives on the Transportation Committee are key positions to save dedicated funding for biking and walking.
If your representative is on the Transportation Committee, you are in a unique position to ask your elected official to preserve dedicated funding for biking and walking. Checkthis list to see if your representative is a Transportation Committee member. If so, please take a moment to contact them and let them know they are putting thousands of Americans, as well as our environment, at risk. If your representative is not, please contact them anyway and remind them that bicycle infrastructure is key to improving America’s transportation, particularly in the current economic climate. You can also call the Committee offices directly and voice your concern at (202) 225-9446.
America Bikes is working to introduce an amendment that will preserve funding for biking and walking. During Thursday’s vote, Representatives on the Transportation Committee will have the opportunity to pass this amendment to save biking and walking. We need to send a message to Congress that biking and walking deserve a share of transportation funding.
Thanks to the numerous folks who’ve posted this. I’ve called and emailed my representative. be sure to do the same with yours. This goes up for a vote TODAY.
