Comment:
Auction proceeds should not be used for new roadway/widening projects. Dollars should be focused on improving public transportation, encouraging active transportation, and repairing existing roadways and bridges. Please dedicate a significant percentage of cap and trade revenues for bike/ped investments that: -Helps cities to complete and expand bicycle and pedestrian networks -Promote first-mile/last-mile connections to transit -Promote biking and walking access to schools, community and medical facilities, job and housing centers, and shopping and retail centers The cap and trade proceeds need to be dedicated to active transportation because of a current bias in the system. 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, and recently, federal spending on active transportation was cut by 33%.
