*Take Three Actions Today for Safe Routes to School*

It is a busy time in Washington D.C. - with decisions being made about funding for this year and next. We need help from Safe Routes to School advocates on three actions - doing all three could take you a total of 10 minutes - and you would be making a big difference:

1. *Tell your Governor http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=vrki7zaab&et=1105233508208&s=2741&e=001CyvAPS9EhUbiU6aTfmGh19QfFhWBaK9JapG7PVSnJk9kigk9vdAh26NHg2Az7jVWOtkq8Am3JTzupSWt5ZJF8Wq7I7nvVu4NXe97kKsMUviU63u7eSAvze1mcz-7LpqbxzubmheEict69XTD0RajArNcIhpVRoD72ZJBxMSjEhg= not to return bike/ped funding to Washington:*The FY2011 appropriations deal requires state DOTs to return $2.5 billion in transportation funding to Washington.Based on past "rescissions" like this, many state DOTs will take most of the cuts from bike/ped programs.While Safe Routes to School is not eligible for these rescissions, it could devastate Transportation Enhancements. Contact your Governor http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=vrki7zaab&et=1105233508208&s=2741&e=001CyvAPS9EhUbiU6aTfmGh19QfFhWBaK9JapG7PVSnJk9kigk9vdAh26NHg2Az7jVWOtkq8Am3JTzupSWt5ZJF8Wq7I7nvVu4NXe97kKsMUviU63u7eSAvze1mcz-7LpqbxzubmheEict69XTD0RajArNcIhpVRoD72ZJBxMSjEhg= and ask them to minimize rescission cuts on programs that fund sidewalks, bike lanes, trails and education programs. Take action today!

2. *Sign your organization http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=vrki7zaab&et=1105233508208&s=2741&e=001CyvAPS9EhUYFH5B0mVSoywY9TfDEp9vAr-v4cO4OpTGpGoXLojanO-HWzVrxQcXEREbciPysnjKp4E8rgUoYCIbGBAWeQjQit6BPPmlG5xJ5ibSlZ0uYXxtQEgib8KCq9Y3rtw_YDhs= on to a CDC built environment funding letter http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=vrki7zaab&et=1105233508208&s=2741&e=001CyvAPS9EhUbrU3RoTGa5zcNfTjqG3q1-ST8Sfa4Hfki6-jO6MZ4FVcBzcE5AqqpU6DI75KUh8Hly2DtwXouXkuhBE2XwGanZfgkGBzSOQPqji8FWLyM3vL2FAJptz4yU4RwGnFJRwA5lEyFXYTzJ-rsmeZPku11ty40vivKlyP6o-NrP1ySQEg==:*The President's proposed FY12 budget would eliminate funding for built environment activities and the Healthy Communities program at the CDC.
