Tell Congress: Get America back on its feet with investment in healthy transportation!

Transportation For America Logo

In the last 15 years, 76,000 Americans have been killed by while walking or crossing a street – too many of our roads are built for cars only.

But Rep. Earl Blumenauer just introduced a piece of legislation that could set aside $2 billion for grants to fund safe networks for biking and walking in communities all across the country.

Urge your representative to co-sponsor the Active Community Transportation Act. Sign the letter below and we'll deliver your message to Capitol Hill.

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.
