OCTOBER 2012 DELAWARE CANDIDATE SURVEY

Candidate: Darryl Scott

Running For: State Representative, District 31

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: Strongly Agree

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

Response: Strongly 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: Agree

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

Response: Strongly 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: Agree

Comments: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this topic. As a new cyclist (this year) I appreciate the personal value of cycling and walking and also the need for infrastructure improvements to support these activities. Narrow roads, poorly marked roads, and driver and cyclist education are all components that need to be addressed to increase participation and the public's safety.
