League Applauds Delaware
The League of American Bicyclists is congratulating Delaware for it’s recent breakthrough. League Policy Analyst Darren Flusche writes:
“Accessing federal funds can be a daunting task, even for experienced transportation officials, but it’s one with potentially game-changing pay-off.
“Over the past twenty years, most bicycle projects have been funded out of a few dedicated programs. But bicycle projects are eligible for several other, larger pots of money for purposes such as safety, congestion reduction, and general surface transportation….By tapping into Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) improvement funds for bicycling projects – the first time ever in Delaware – Bike Delaware has opened the door for the future funding of bicycling projects that give people options to substitute their cars trips with enjoyable, healthy, non-polluting, non-traffic-clogging bike trips.
“Bike Delaware has shown impressive leadership and vision in doggedly pursuing CMAQ funds for bicycling, despite no precedent in the state.”
