This fall citizens who care about transportation have 10 opportunities around the state to tell the state senate what priorities will move our state forward <\/a>when a transportation revenue package is adopted. In Bellevue, Everett, Wenatchee, Yakima, Tri-Cities, Spokane, Vancouver, Tacoma, Seattle, and Bellingham from Sept. 17-Oct. 15,\u00a0you need to speak up for smart, healthy, cost-effective transportation networks that mean safety and jobs for all of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also submit comments at www.senatetranspofeedbackforum.org<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to enter Biking\/Walking in the \u201cOther\u201d field where they ask for your primary transportation concern. (Perhaps your first concern is that it’s an “Other” instead of being on the list!)<\/p>\n

If you have your own story about what it means to invest in biking, like the story Stella’s mom told about biking to school in Kirkland<\/a>\u00a0or the support from\u00a0Vancouver <\/a>to Anacortes <\/a>for local trail projects or Frank’s success as a teacher getting kids on bikes<\/a>\u00a0in Tukwila, tell the legislature. Additional points you can share with the Senate, your own legislators (look them up online and send an email<\/a>), and Gov. Inslee:<\/p>\n
