\"Gigantic-Bicycle-Festival_08-23-14_forweb\"<\/a>Going into the 2015 legislative session — an important budget-writing year that sets the two-year transportation budget — we hope to build on our success in 2013 in getting an all-time record investment of over $40 million in biking\/walking projects. We’ll be working for a forward-looking approach to transportation funding that recognizes how people want to move.<\/p>\n

As the recent poll on kids and safe biking and walking<\/a> showed, Washingtonians overwhelmingly want the legislature and their local leaders to invest in safer connections. Add your voice with our petition that asks the legislature for two fundamental things: making safety a top priority and funding complete bike connections.
