Tell Congress: Get America back with healthy transportation

Tell Congress: Get America back on its feet with investment in healthy transportation!

In the last 15 years, 76,000 Americans have been killed by while walking or crossing a street – too many of our roads are built for cars only. But Rep. Earl Blumenauer just introduced a piece of legislation that could set aside $2 billion for grants to fund safe networks for biking and walking in communities all across the country.

And this week, more than 700 bike advocates (including representatives from JORBA and NJ Bike Coalition) are descending on Capitol Hill to drum up strong support for the program. Urge your representative to co-sponsor the Active Community Transportation Act. Sign the letter below and we'll deliver your message to Capitol Hill.

You can voice your support electronically here:

What would we do without trails? Let's not find out. http://www.IMBA.com
