Comment:
Dear members of the CA Air Resources Board, As a constituent deeply concerned about issues of public health and safety, including the health impacts of automobile dependence and poor air quality, I urge you to set aside some of these new revenues to improve the bike and walk-ability of our neighborhoods. As you know, there is very little transportation funding designated for active transportation projects, despite their growing modal share. Indeed, 15% of our total trips are walking or on a bike, yet only about 1% of our transportation funds are spent on bike and pedestrian infrastructure. Making matters worse, federal spending on active transportation was recently cut by 33%. Please begin to rectify this situation by providing designated state funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Thank you for your time and consideration, Kristin
