OCTOBER 2012 DELAWARE CANDIDATE SURVEY

Candidate: Greg Lavelle

Running For: State Senator, District 4

1. I supported or agreed with "Walkable Bikeable Delaware" (Senate Concurrent Resolution #13), passed unanimously by the 146th Delaware General Assembly in May of 2011.

Response: Agree

2. I believe that increased use of 'active' modes of transportation (i.e. walking and bicycling) improves public health.

Response: Agree

3. I believe that investing in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure saves people money by allowing them to spend a smaller percentage of their household budgets on transportation; and makes Delaware's economy less vulnerable to disruption from oil price shocks.

Response: Neither Agree or Disagree

4. I supported or agreed with the state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Agree

5. As long as Transportation Trust Fund revenue is either stable or growing, I would support a state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2014 Bond Bill at the same or greater level as in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Neither Agree or Disagree

Comments: Regarding Number 5, the TTF is under tremendous pressure and many would argue it has been short changed. Reforming it by returning to original funding purpose may actually help with stated goals above. This will take multiple years. We have offered one option to do this.
