America Bikes Program America Bikes: America Benefits is the slogan for the America Bikes Campaign, an effort to pass a new federal transportation funding bill in late 2003, which includes provisions for bicyclists, including:America Bikes is a non-profit coalition focused on convincing congress to include these provisions above and continue to improve upon TEA-21, the last transportation bill passed in 1997. Join for free as an individual, business or organization now! TEA-21 Re-Authorization We have been advocating for re-authorization of TEA - 21 at the national level. See our official position which has been sent to our national leaders in Washington. TAKE ACTION! Write to your congressperson in support of these proposals. Enhancements and other great pieces of this legislation are threatened! TEA-21 Enhancement Program Funds The funding for the last round of TEA-21 Enhancement Program Funds has been allocated. Many MPOs have selected bicycling / pedestrian systems and trail projects as their top priorities, though nearly four times more is requested in projects proposed for grants than is available. New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) now must decide how to merge these priority needs, include their own proposals, and award the grants as quickly as possible. The very broad authorization for the Enhancement program allows projects that extend well beyond the enhancement of transportation systems, including excursion railroads, historic preservation and visitor centers, partly accounting for the understandable over subscription of these very limited funds. NYBC urges DOT to follow the advice of the MPOs who understand the importance and efficiency of first addressing high priority bicycling / pedestrian and trail needs.
