Active Transportation for America
To justify increased federal funding for bicycling, we must demonstrate
that the prior federal investments have been well spent. So we teamed
with the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy on a research project to quantify
the positive results of federal bike spending on communities and
health. Entitled “Active Transportation for America,” the report was
completed in October 2008 and will be crucial as we work to prioritize
bicycling in the reauthorization effort in 2009.
