It’s time to stop the federal transportation bill currently moving in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The proposal has been called “horrible” by the League of American Bicyclists for cuts to biking and walking. The National Resources Defense Council calls it “Worst. Transportation. Bill. Ever.” StreetsBlog called it “a March of Horribles.” And U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood calls it “the worst transportation bill I’ve ever seen during 35 years of public service.”

Yet, the bill has already passed several committees and may be heard by the full U.S. House next week. That’s why we need your help today during a national day of action to kill this bill.

This terrible bill would

• expand oil drilling and oil shale exploration in sensitive coastal areas, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and in environmentally sensitive areas of the Mountain West,
• threaten public transit funding across the country by eliminating dedicated funding,
• cut biking and walking funding by also removing the paltry 1.5 percent of funding that is currently dedicated to making road and trail safety improvements for walkers and bicyclists, and
• gut key environmental protections around road building.

Please vote “NO” on the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act. We need a new federal transportation bill, but not this anti-jobs, anti-transit, and anti-environment bill.
