During the December 14 Governor’s Town Hall VBF’s Sheryl Finucane asked Governor McDonnell for his ideas on promoting and encouraging active transportation.
During the interaction the Governor asked for input about what could be done and said (to one of his staff members) “why don’t we look at that.”
Write the Governor and encourage him to follow through on “looking into” the role that bicycling and walking can and need to play as part of a multi-modal and multifaceted response to transportation related congestion and pollution and also chronic diseases that are related to inactivity and obesity.
