DeFazio Defends SRTS. Current Draft Bill Cuts Ped/Bike Funding

The debate on the next Transportation Bill is going on right now in DC. It’s not looking good for active transportation as the current draft bill is focused on highways and not transportation.

Here is a great video from Peter DeFazio, our local Representative, defending Safe Routes to School

“…look those parents in the eye and say I’m sorry, we can’t afford to provide your child a safe way to ride their bicycle to school and live a healthier lifestyle. I strongly support this amendment.”
