This past Friday's Alice Awards was a blast, honoring our awardees, seeing old friends, getting ready for the upcoming 2027 legislative session, and raising the resources we'll need to get more people safely walking, biking, rolling, & taking transit!
Thank you to all who attended & contributed!
!["This is just the most recent escalation of the administration’s war on bike lanes.
January 2025: Grants for bike safety projects are frozen. Grantees are asked to remove bike facilities from proposed projects to get funding.
November 2025: Chairman Graves of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee states, "We’re not going to be spending money on ... bike paths or walking paths [in the next transportation bill].”
March 2026: The administration tried to remove DC’s 15th Street bike lane (spoiler alert: we won the court case protecting it) as a test case to restrict bike lanes on National Highway System roads.
July 2026: Secretary Sean Duffy says he’s defunded “DEI bike lanes” and put $1.7 billion towards “real” projects
Now: Duffy is asking Congress to restrict almost all federal transportation funding for bike lanes, instead asking Congress to fund bike lane removals."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:el5r7gg2gi7fkdyyhlqxfoj3/bafkreif7snwpguz57gzrqhbysdcx33njdvjs6nxvyh7aiodkb5csyyzefa)
