Urgent Action Needed by July 8

A request from our Executive Director, Tim Bustos, regarding 2.5 billion rescission of funds:

“It looks like the feds will be raiding state coffers again, and funding for bicycling and walking projects will likely take a big hit.  We also have a very narrow window of opportunnity, so please spread this message far and wide.  If you haven’t done so already, please contact your FDOT and let them know _again_ how important these funds are to help improve the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians in Florida.  Remind them that we already lead the nation in bicycle and pedestrian fatalities, so now is _not_ the time to be cutting critical funding.”

THANK YOU for your support!
