State and National Transportation Stimulus Money Allocation

With projects like the Orange Blossom Trail, Santa Ana River Trail, and bike lanes in Redlands all moving at a snails pace due to lack of funding, we thought it would be nice to see just where all the transportation stimulus money is going.

Thanks to Streetsblog, we have the breakdown, and as usual, THE CAR WINS!

Ask Your Senator to Co-Sponsor the Safe Routes to School Reauthorization Bill

May 27, 2009

On May 21, 2009, Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Richard Burr (R-NC) , Bernard Sanders (I-VT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Susan Collins (R-ME) joined together to introduce the Safe Routes to School Program Reauthorization Act (S. 1156).

This is an exciting and important step forward as these five diverse Senators have agreed to champion the federal Safe Routes to School program. To get more Senators to step up as leaders on Safe Routes to School, we need your help. Your Senators need to hear from you about the importance of growing and strengthening the Safe Routes to School program in the next transportation bill.

Please take just five minutes to contact your two Senators to ask them to show their support for the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program by co-sponsoring the legislation. To do so, follow this link: http://capwiz.com/lab/issues/alert/?alertid=13424291

Over 2.55 million bicycle purchases were made, compared to less than 2.4 million cars and trucks that left our nation’s lots.

Taken For A Ride - The Murder of Mass Transit

Taken for a Ride reveals the tragic and little known story of an auto and oil industry campaign, led by General Motors, to buy and dismantle streetcar lines. Across the nation, tracks were torn up, sometimes overnight, and diesel buses placed on city streets.
