MoBikeFed legislative agenda for 2012--what do you think?

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 10:40am

Thanks to your support, MoBikeFed has been able to pass no less than 29 of the planks in its legislative platform in the past 16 years (and no less than 27 in the past seven years).

Now we are planning and prioritizing our legislative platform for 2012--and we need your help and advice.

How much--or how little!--do you support the following legislative ideas?  And do you have any ideas for statewide legislation affecting bicycling, walking, and trails that are not listed below?

Strongly OpposeOpposeNeutralSupportStrongly SupportVery Strongly Support
Law making bicycle and pedestrian skills and training a regular part of the public school curriculum
Law requiring safe passing of bicyclists, with minimum passing distance of 3 feet
Legislation to allow trails and greenway districts in counties across Missouri (similar to St. Louis's Great Rivers Greenway District, which raises $10 million per year for trails and bicycle facilities in the St. Louis area)
Law creating dedicated state funding for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Missouri
Crosswalk reform law: Require drivers to stop for all pedestrians in a crosswalk, increase penalties
Comprehensive update/modernization of Missouri state laws dealing with bicycling & walking
Law banning harassment of and throwing objects at bicyclists and pedestrians
Law banning texting while driving
Safe Streets Law: Increase penalties and points when bad/unsafe driving injures or kills
Find out more details about the above options on our Legislative Platform page.
Additional ideas for bicycle, pedestrian, or trails related legislation in the 2012 Missouri General Assembly or concerns you would like to see addressed through statewide legislation.
