Mr. Secretary of Transportation
Busalacchi, I request that
Transportation Enhancements be funded at the full 10% of the Surface
Transportation funding (or about $15-$18 million PER YEAR).
I am an avid
bicyclist who rides bike paths, local roads and city streets regularly for
pleasure, exercise and commuting. I bike nearly 3000 miles every year and enjoy
all of them. Okay, I admit, some hills may be a bit tough in the driftless
area. My wife and two teenage boys also enjoy biking but maybe not to the
degree that I do. They enjoy riding the bike paths at an easy Sunday pace.
Bicycling is a healthy habit that it is good for you and the environment.
Driving a car, I feel, is an addiction that is not very healthy for the
driver or the environment. I admit that I have three cars (one is a hybrid) and
do drive but also do feel that we must foster the growth of alternative
transportation, such as bicycling, into the
future.
We need to continue
to adequately fund Transportation
Enhancements that enhance and maintain safe and healthy alternative
transportation into the future. The many, many bicyclists of today and the
many, many children of tomorrow will thank you for your support. I dream of
a tomorrow with many, many more energetic, healthy and
safe bicyclists. Help tomorrow happen! Thank-you!
