From the League of American Bicyclists: Please send a letter to your congress(wo)men

It's up on the chopping block again: funding for bikes and pedestrians.

From their website:
"The U.S. House and Senate are negotiating right now to produce a final federal transportation bill and 20 years of progress on biking, walking and Safe Routes to School could be eliminated...the House would prefer to get rid of biking and walking funding by giving states the chance to ‘opt out’ of this funding pot completely — and take away local governments’ ability to access federal funds for small transportation projects."

If you click on the link below and enter your zip code, it will automatically generate an e-mail to your congressional representatives. All you have to do is enter your name, address, and e-mail and it will send a letter asking your state reps to consider keeping the funding alive.
When the link is open, scroll down to the end of the article where it says in blue CLICK HERE to access the form to send to your representatives.

Take Action: House aims to eliminate local funds for biking and walking

I think anything we can do to let them know that this funding is important to their constituents is a good thing.
