Investing in bicycling and walking in an investment in Missouri.

Hard data shows that investments in bicycling and walking projects have a higher return on investment and generate more jobs per dollar than road and highway projects. In these challenging economic times, now is precisely the wrong time to cut these investments that put Missourians to work.

We need transportation dollars to come our area and we need you to speak up now for Missouri.

We especially need people in Northwest and Southwest Missouri to respond to this alert. Congressmen Sam Graves and Billy Long serve on the House Transportation Committee and will be key votes on this issue.  Please forward this to all of the cyclists and pedestrians you know Springfield, Branson, Joplin, northern Kansas City, St. Joseph, and Maryville, etc.
