The House and the Senate have each passed their own version of the Economic Recovery Bill, aimed at creating jobs and stimulating the economy.  <\/span>Both bills include billions for transportation infrastructure, but only the House bill includes funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects in the Transportation Enhancements program.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>House Bill <\/span><\/a>includes approximately $1.35 billion for Transportation Enhancements of which 50-60% is traditionally spent on bicycle and pedestrian projects.  <\/span><\/span>The Senate Bill <\/span><\/a>does not explicitly include Transportation Enhancements, so its unclear whether this funding will be in the
\nfinal bill. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This week there will be a conference committee where several members of the House and several members of the Senate will work together to reconcile the two bills.  <\/span>Conferees need to hear that Transportation Enhancements are important to stimulating the economy, creating green jobs, and moving us towards a sustainable future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please call your Senators and Representative and urge them to tell the Conferees to support Transportation Enhancements in the Economic Recovery bill.<\/span><\/b>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
