Can Congress Not Screw this One Up Please?
Our friends at StreetFilms have interviewed U.S. congressman Earl Blumenauer to ask him about policies for saner and greener transit, bikes, the new Obama administration and how to get involved. They also talk about the "stimulus" package that is currently being debated, and how that can affect public transit and the bike-friendliness of many cities. The congressman had some wise words: "...just because [people and advocates] may feel more comfortable with this administration - it doesn't mean they should let up on the pressure." Via StreetFilms
