Congress is writing a bill that will define our national transportation system for the next six years, and now is the time to contact your Member of Congress and ask them to support bicycling and walking.

Representative Daniel Lipinski (D, IL) is circulating a “Dear Colleague” letter proposing that the upcoming Transportation Bill, which is currently being drafted by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (T&I), promotes and funds alternate transportation options.  Representative Lipinski is asking his colleagues in the House of Representatives to join him in a call for increased federal funding for bicycling and pedestrian programs.

You can make a difference by contacting your Representative’s office today and urging them to sign onto Congressman Lipinski’s policy letter.
