I was just forwarded an email that outlines AAA's push to move funding for biking, trails and walking and put it toward the highway system. They blame a budget shortfall in the highway system on funding programs like the rails to trails conservancy and many other programs designed to provide safe trails and roadways for alternative modes of transportation. You can read a synapsis of AAA's viewpoint here.
Please take a minute to make your opinion known at the Rails to Trails Conservancy website. You can send a message in just a few seconds letting AAA know that you want the funding to stay right where it is. If it is taken away, it will be very difficult to get funding from another place.
Remember, AAA stands for American Automobile Association and they represent the car. They do not represent you cyclists, walkers, or packers. Let your voice be heard and VOTE!
Until we ride again, Ciao!
