Strengthen Enhancements, CMAQ and Other Existing Programs
ENHANCEMENTS UNDER ATTACK
SAVED ON SEPTEMBER 4,
2003!
In July, the House Appropriations Committee passed a measure that
strips funding for
the transportation enhancements program from the federal transportation budget for 2004.
Transportation Enhancements is an
overwhelmingly popular funding program for bicycle and pedestrian
facilities such as multi-use trails, sidewalks, bicycle racks and
safety programs. We need you to urge the
U.S. House of Representatives to reinstate the
Transportation Enhancements Program.

Enhancements program.
