WalkScore.com is teaming up with Transportation for America to gather an online petition to support alternative transportation in the 2009 Transportation bill in Congress.
Transportation for America has a strong vision for national transportation policy: build world-class rail-based mass transit, repair and maintain the highways and bridges we have, and improve our health by investing in walking and bicycling infrastructure.
Here’s the pitch from WalkScore:
We need your help to create more walkable neighborhoods. Please forward this petition to your friends who support walking, biking, and transit:
http://www.walkscore.com/transportation-bill.shtmlThe 2009 Transportation Bill is a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Walk Score will hand-deliver the list of supporters to Congress on foot, on bike, on bus, and on subway.
Thanks for your support!
