However, other programs that affect trails, transit and public health support for active transportation have been targeted for reduction or zeroed out of the House's budget. You can take action on these items. See below:
- The Land and Water Conservation Fund Coalition — of which IMBA is a member — is circulating an alert about Amendment 361. Offered by Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM), the amendment would kill the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which provides public access to public lands, including trails. Ask your Representative to vote NO on Amendment 361. More information on this alert.
- Transportation for America (T4) is concerned about massive cuts to transit and rail. Click here for their alert.
Invited speakers include individuals representing: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, Delaware County Transportation Management Agency, Greater Valley Forge TMA, an engineer from construction firm, Transportation Safety Coalition, someone from P3s (Public, Private Partnerships), State Senator John Raferty, Kevin Johnson from Traffic Plan Design, and the Keystone Transportation Funding Coalition.
The public is invited to attend, but it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to speak. RSVP is required as seating is limited.
