The 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation aims to build on the success of the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program in SAFETEA-LU. The goal: empowering dozens of communities to each advocate for $50 million in federal funds to make focused investments in infrastructure and programs to shift automobile trips to walking and biking. The campaign aims to double the federal investment in active transportation in the next reauthorization.
For more on the campaign, see the "Campaign Resources" sidebar. And please let us know of any additional resources that would be helpful in local efforts.
Of primary interest to those engaged in local campaign efforts are the Campaign Guidance Document (particularly Section 2.B), the Campaign Brochure, and recent messages with instructions on local case statements.
Read the ground-breaking "Active Transportation for America" report. The report quantifies, for the first time, the benefits our nation would realize with increased federal investment in walking and bicycling.
