Protect the Greenway

We need you to voice support for Greenway projects. Contact your U.S. Senators, Representatives and the White House to urge strong bipartisan support for safe biking and walking infrastructure. And please speak up in public hearings and other opportunities whenever a Greenway project is being discussed. In survey after survey throughout our communities, greenways are a top amenity and universally loved. Our elected leaders need strong reminders of that love of greenways and their many benefits. Given the strong return on investment that greenways provide, cutting funding would be terribly counterproductive.

Sample message: I'm (calling/writing) because I care about the East Coast Greenway and its positive impact on my community. I’m deeply concerned that recent USDOT actions may freeze funding for critical biking and walking projects, putting the (insert local trail name, if relevant) and other safety improvements in (insert home state) at risk. Please work to ensure these projects move forward with the federal funding already promised, so we can create safer, more connected streets for everyone. I vote and strongly support greenways and trails!
