Imagine if we had implemented the Interstate Highway System alphabetically by state? Too often, active transportation networks are built out in exactly that patchy way.
We just posted a new $44.5M grant opportunity that is different:
1) Just for active transportation,
2) Focused on planning and implementing *networks*,
3) Aims for outcomes beyond safety.

The thing I noticed the most was the title. Its from the Biden-Harris administration.
I dont think I ever saw tRump-Pence.
Its good to show that he is running an inclusive #administrative and is building up the next generation, planning for the future.
Just another point for those who dont understand the difference between the #Republicans and the #Democrats.
Democracy is more than how we vote.
