Since very little of our Federal money goes to cycling and by the (lack of) reaction to fact, any action anyone would lake on the League of American Bicyclists alert within the State of Maryland would most likely have zero impact. So just sit back and wave by-by to money that could have been spent on improving roads for cycling and building more trails as almost everyone could care less.
After the fold is LAB’s alert if you are curious.

As we mentioned last week, state transportation agencies are faced with another round of rescissions and will be cutting unspent funds from various programs. Unlike previous rescissions, these cuts do not have to follow a proportionality clause, meaning an increased threat for programs that typically fund bicycling projects.
You can help prevent this by taking action! Visit our Advocacy Center and tell your Governor to require that these cuts be made proportionately across eligible programs. States must report which program funds are affected by August 25th — so action is needed this week!
For more information on how rescissions work, visit our Advocacy Advance report Rescissions and Restoration: Fighting for Priority. For more information on your state’s rescission amount see this chart.
