Decisions are Underway, Ask Congress to Protect Funding for Sidewalks and Bikeways

Just two months ago, the Senate passed a transportation bill that included the Cardin-Cochran agreement. This bipartisan compromise would ensure that local governments and school systems are able to access much-needed funds to make bicycling and walking safer and more accessible.  Your local leaders—mayors, city councilors and county officials—know what your community’s transportation needs are, and the Cardin-Cochran amendment  helps ensure they can compete for funding to make those improvements.
 
Update: March 14, 2012:  Today the Senate passed the MAP-21 transportation bill, including provisions to ensure that local governments can compete for Safe Routes to School funding. Safe Routes to School National Partnership applauds the Senate for their bipartisan action and urges the House to move quickly to take up the bipartisan MAP-21 bill. Click here to urge your representatives to pass this important bill.
