Comment:
Dear members of the CA Air Resources Board,

As a constituent deeply concerned about issues of public health and
safety, including the health impacts of automobile dependence and
poor air quality, I urge you to set aside some of these new
revenues to improve the bike and walk-ability of our neighborhoods.


As you know, there is very little transportation funding designated
for active transportation projects, despite their growing modal
share. Indeed, 15% of our total trips are walking or on a bike, yet
only about 1% of our transportation funds are spent on bike and
pedestrian infrastructure.

Making matters worse, federal spending on active transportation was
recently cut by 33%. Please begin to rectify this situation by
providing designated state funding for bicycle and pedestrian
projects.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Kristin
