Ray LaHood SPEAKS OUT
April 26, 20108 Minute segment on NPR News
DATELINE: April 25 – US Dept. of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announces what he’s calling a “sea change” in transportation policy. “We’re elevating it to the point where as we develop new road systems, as we develop communities where people can use light rail or street cars or buses, bike trails and walking paths will be equal partners, if you will, and equal components of those kinds of transportation opportunities in communities across America,” LaHood tells NPR’s Guy Raz.
LaHood is also pushing the idea of a nationwide interstate biking system. To listen to the full 8 minute segment and read the blog comments CLICK: LaHood gives the finger. And thanks to Kathy Z for passing this info onto CABA.

NEWS FLASH
April 18, 2010US Sec. of Transp. speaks out
“At long last, the feds have said the needs of pedestrians and cyclists must be placed alongside, not behind, those of motorists. In what amounts to a sea change for the Department of Transportation, the automobile will no longer be the prime consideration in federal transportation planning. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood ….makes it clear that walking and riding are “an important component for livable communities.”
LaHood wrote on his blog. “This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.”

CAR-FREE FRIDAYS IN PITTSBURGH
June 30, 2009If they can do it so can we
Pittsburgh is a city about the same size as Charlotte (and just as hot in the summer !). The local bicycle advocacy group – Bike PGH – (which just happens to have over twice as many members as CABA….ugh) launched a city-wide initiative earlier this summer to encourage commuters to leave their cars at home at least once a week. “Car Free Fridays” – are days when the air is a little cleaner and the streets a little safer. A day to welcome the use of smart transportation. For more info, see: Pittsburgh rides proud.
