Transit is in crisis: tell Congress to act!


[B' Spokes: Across the nation there is a mode shift from cars to mass transit (even bikes) but it seems the funding emphases is the exact opposite, lets take even more money from other things and give it to cars.]
*******************************************************************
Transit agencies across the country are facing budget problems. While transit ridership is stronger than ever, entire routes are at risk, workers are being laid off, and fares are going up. The problem goes beyond local budgets and politics: it's a crisis of national proportions.

Send a letter to your representatives by using the form below. You can share a link to our transit funding crisis map and call for Congress to act quickly to save transit. <a href="http://action.smartgrowthamerica.org/t/3224/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=2447">http://action.smartgrowthamerica.org/t/3224/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=2447</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.
