Hopefully every BB member responded to the messages that I sent and requested David McKinley, Nick Rahall and Shelly Capito to continue these funding sources.
What about the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Section 402? Any info on their status? They are good fits with many actions in our bicycle plan.

All - if you have been tracking these types of things, this should come as no surprise to you. The House released their version of a bill to reauthorize transportation funding and it is not kind at all to bike/ped funding, transit, safe routes to school, or Amtrak.
Plus the Speaker has pledged to tie in approval for the Keystone XL pipeline to this bill. If you want to see a quick summary with links to the more detailed text, see below. We could possibly get into this tonight since it may impact future grant opportunities (or lack thereof)
