ALERT:
Ask Sen. Cardin of Maryland to Sustain Bicycling and Walking Funding
Sign your name to our constituent letter
We need your help: the future of funding for Safe Routes to School, trails, walking and bicycling in America is in serious jeopardy. Some Senators and Representatives are pushing to eliminate key bicycle and pedestrian programs, even though they are funded at less than two cents of every transportation dollar and have tremendous impacts on their communities.
Maryland’s Senator Cardin sits on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and has made clear he supports trails, walking and bicycling.
Now, we need you-as a Maryland constituent-to urge Senator Cardin to take the next step:
- Simply add your name to our constituents’ letter* to ask Senator Cardin to lead the charge to sustain bicycling and walking funding. We will compile all the signatures and deliver to Senator Cardin both in Maryland and in DC.
- And, please pass this alert on to all your colleagues, friends and family members in Maryland. This is one of the biggest fights we’ve had in years-and every signature is absolutely critical to our success.
Make no mistake: if we lose this battle, communities all around the country will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to build the sidewalks, crosswalks, trails and bike lanes they need.
Thank you for your help!
