Please call and/or write your US Senators and ask...
"Would you please support a clean extension to current transportation funding and please support continued dedicated funding for bicycling and walking programs in the next transportation authorization.”
The current transportation bill expires on 9/30/11, but this may get combined with the FAA authorization which expires Sept 16.

Fed Transportation Extension passed in the House, but faces a challenge in the Senate. 'Coburn would use “all procedural tools at his disposal” to block the bill because he objected to programs designed to increase bike lanes and green space around roads. “We’re not going to continue to spend money on that,” Coburn said.'
Sen Portman is the target, call (202) 224-3353 - 1 minute phone call - You don't need detailed background to make this call. Just ask that Sen Portman "support the clean extension to the Transportatin bill and NOT support Sen Coburn's ammendment to eliminate Transportation Enhancements program." Call today!!! Thanks
