On December 13, 2010, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy hand-delivered more than 51,000 signatures in a petition to AAA to support—not oppose—the continuation of established trail, walking and bicycling programs through the transportation trust fund. Now, we turn our focus on Congress, protecting and defending these active transportation programs on the federal stage. We will show our elected leaders the results of our AAA petition and remind them that it represents millions of Americans who want a balanced transportation future.

AAA is an automobile advocacy group. You should start looking for more natural allies.
Maybe AAA should do more wholesome activities like stealing candy from babies . After all, if adults paid for it why should kids benefit? If streets designed and paid for by adults are dangerous for kids then why should adults care? Kids should start looking for more natural allies then those who are doing them harm.
How many car parking spaces does a bike take up? Its not just the employment benefits (strongest employment impact per dollar of any transport infrastructure spending) and health benefits: motorists ARE one group of DIRECT beneficiaries of this spending.
