A campaign was launched today in Washington to get a bigger share of the federal transportation budget for what’s called “active” transportation: walking and bicycling. The Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy put out a report saying that modest increases in these activities would lead to an annual reduction of 70 billion miles of driving. The report lists a number of case studies and one of them involves the urbanized areas of Southcentral Alaska. It was largely written
by Lois Epstein of the Alaska Transportation Priorities Project.
