The Campaign for Active Transportation

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's 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 and collectively advocate for a significant infusion of federal funds to make focused investments in infrastructure and programs to shift automobile trips to walking and biking.

GROUNDBREAKING: U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer (Ore.) introduced H.R. 4722, the Active Community Transportation Act of 2010 in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Encourage your U.S. representative to co-sponsor the legislation now!
