119 people have written letters so far. We need at least 100 to make a difference.

Kansas City is currently considering which transportation projects to include in an applicaton for federal stimulus funds. City staff has produced an ambitious bike/ped plan that would transform the city's transportaton system - it includes things like bike lanes, trails, crosswalks, ADA improvements, sidewalks, and a big education campaign.

Please ask the City Council and regional Congressional leaders to include bicycles and pedestrians in the city's application for federal transportation stimulus funding (called TIGER).

  • Bike/Ped provides low-cost transportation options for people dealing with the recession.
  • This is a once in a lifetime chance to transform the cit's transportation system to be more inclusive and sustainable.
  • The city has made many bike/ped/trail plans, and this an opportunity to fund them.
  • Cities around the country are using bicycling and walking facilities to attract new businesses and residents.
