Good National News!

Early last week, we sounded the alarm that some leaders in Congress were calling for the elimination of the federal transportation enhancements program, the primary funding source for bicycle facilities. Well, good news: Congress decided to maintain this program and extend current federal transportation law and funding through March 2012.

There were several reasons why Congress did this, but one of the most important was that they heard from tens of thousands of cyclists (including you we hope) about the transportation and economic value of cost-effective national investment in bike and walk facilities. Your emails and phone calls made a difference!

Of course, this extension only lasts for six months -- which means that we must keep letting our elected leaders know that dedicated cycling investments must be part of the national transportation mix. So please keep telling your Senators and Representatives about why a modest level of investment in cycling matters -- for transportation, recreation, health, and economic development. It will be especially important as we enter the new year (not that far away) to make the case for cycling.

Thanks again to those of you who took a few minutes to contact Washington, DC. Along with the recent improving news about rumble strips, it's good to see that, together, we can make a real difference for cycling and bicycle travel in America.
