Earlier this year Representatives Blumenauer (D-OR), Capuano (D-MA), Carnahan (D-MO), Cohen (D-TN), Filner (D-CA), Lipinski (D-IL), and Moran (D-VA), introduced the Active Community Transportation Act (H.R. 4722) which, if passed, will provide long term concentrated funding to assist communities in implementing active transportation networks. 
 
Currently there are 62 co-sponsors of the Bill and Congressman Blumenauer is starting a second push to add additional co-sponsors by the end of the August Congressional District Work period.
 
Please contact your Representative over the next few weeks to urge them to sign on to this important piece of legislation that will help communities across the country provide healthy transportation options that also help reduce our dependency on foreign oil.
 
Thank you in advance for your help in adding your Representative to the list of co-sponsors.  Also, if your Member has already signed on please just take a moment to send them a note thanking them for co-sponsoring H.R. 4722.

As mentioned in the article, Congressman Russ Carnahan of Missouri (St Louis area) is one of the primary sponsors of this bill.

Congressman Cleaver (Kansas City area) is a co-sponsor already.

But we'd like to see some of the other seven House members in Missouri co-sponsor this important legislation.
