Urge elected officials to save bike/ped funding
Negotiations are coming down to the wire toward a new federal transportation law and we are concerned that funding for bike/ped will be a casualty. Call your Representative and Senator today to let them know that safe bicycling and walking are not a bargaining chip.

Don't let Congress kill bike/ped funding. Call or email today!

The Senate passed a bipartisan transportation bill in March. The House was unable to pass a bill at all but is now demanding that bike/ped funds be cut and that environmental review be stripped in order to get a bill passed. Please tell your Representative and Senators to pass the bipartisan Senate bill.  Safety is not a bargaining chip.
