The 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation


At TrailLink 2007, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy officially kicked off the 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation, a grassroots movement to make walking and biking mainstream transportation options for communities across the country. The campaign will empower at least 40 communities to each advocate for $50 million in the next federal transportation reauthorization, anticipated by 2010.

RTC needs your help to make this movement a reality. Local actions or campaigns supporting active transportation in your community can prepare the groundswell necessary to give Americans the choice of safe and convenient biking and walking options. RTC has provided a series of issue briefs (see sidebar) to help you &quot;make the case&quot; for active transportation in your community. Over the coming months, RTC will roll out a 2010 Toolkit to provide you with specific guidance for building your campaign, including materials from TrailLink 2007. <a href="http://www.railstotrails.org/whatwedo/trailadvocacy/2010Campaign.html">http://www.railstotrails.org/whatwedo/trailadvocacy/2010Campaign.html</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
