Thank Rep. Oberstar

Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.) worked hard and successfully to ensure the passage of an amendment to the energy bill that protects transportation enhancements (TE) — the nation's largest funding source for trails, walking and biking.

Please sign the message below, including any personal comments, to thank Rep. Oberstar for his dedication to active transportation. Thanking our congressional leaders lets them know they are appreciated and will have support for similar initiatives in the future.

We will deliver to Rep. Oberstar a listing of individuals who sign this message.

 

Dear Rep. Oberstar, Thank you for taking a stand against disproportionate cuts to Transportation Enhancements (TE) in federal rescission orders. Your work to ensure passage of Sec. 252 of H.R. 2701 in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 guarantees that the many benefits of TE will continue to flow to our communities. Our nation needs more support and opportunities for walking and biking. This amendment is an important step in that direction. Thank you.
