StreetFilms wrap-up of the National Bike Summit, featuring MoBikeFed
StreetFilms interviewed a number of people attending the National Bike Summit, including Congressman Tom Petri (R-WI) and MoBikeFed Executive Director Brent Hugh, and created this video wrapping up a lot of what the 2012 Summit was about:
From Minnesota to Mississippi, America Tells Congress to Preserve Bike-Ped Funding from Streetfilms on Vimeo.
From StreetFilms description of the video:
For more than 20 years, federal funding for bike and pedestrian safety has enabled American cities and towns to invest in transportation projects that state DOTs would otherwise have overlooked. Thanks to these programs, communities have helped main streets thrive, provided kids with safer routes to school, and made biking an attractive transportation option. . . .
Last week more than 800 people from all over the country came to Washington for the National Bike Summit. On the Hill, they urged the House to follow the lead of Wisconsin Republican Tom Petri, who introduced an amendment to restore dedicated funding for bike and pedestrian programs. We caught up with Petri and Bike Summit participants to hear how bike/ped programs have made a difference in their hometowns. Here’s what they told us.
