(National) Stop the Trump administration from scrapping funding for pedestrian safety and walkable communities
The administration has frozen over $3 billion allocated to infrastructure projects that support walking and has threatened to eliminate key programs like Safe Streets and Roads for All and Reconnecting Communities entirely.
Tell Congress, and members of your state government, they need to stick up for the investments that make it easier for members of your community to walk with confidence through their neighborhoods.
