Unlike previous rescissions, these cuts do not have to follow a proportionality clause, meaning an increased threat for programs that typically fund bicycling projects.<\/p>\n<p>You can help prevent this by taking action! Visit our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capwiz.com\/lab\/issues\/alert\/?alertid=16038656&amp;type=SW\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Advocacy Center<\/a> and tell your Governor to require that these cuts be made proportionately across eligible programs.
