Happy Holidays
Uncategorized No Comments »This month has been a busy one for me (alas much non-bike related) so other than keeping up with our event calendar I haven’t had much time for posts.
Nonetheless DotBike has been working away on several things this last month including meeting with Dorchester Ave. planners about bike accommodations, planning with BNAN folks on strategies for closing the missing link in the Neponset Trail, preparing to push the T to install a bike cage at Ashmont and keeping our ear to the ground for other bike relevant issues.
Just want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season and have a look below for a couple of ways you can help support biking in the new year with the new administration courtesy of Mass Bike.
Opportunity #1: Funding for Bicycling in Economic Stimulus
MassBike has already been working with local and national advocates, state agencies, and our Congressional delegation to support funding for bicycling projects in the infrastructure spending currently being debated in Washington, DC as part of a massive economic stimulus package. Here is an opportunity for you to add your own voice via one of our national partners, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. RTC is compiling an online petition to send to President-Elect Obama and Congressional leaders, asking them to provide funding for trails, walking, and biking.

Opportunity #2: Make Bicycle Transportation a National Priority
Ideas for Change in America, a project of Change.org, is asking for public input on ideas for the incoming Obama Administration. Individuals can vote for ideas they support. One idea that is getting significant attention is to make bicycle transportation a national priority.
