A2 City Council: Stop raiding the non-motorized transportation budget!


A2 City Council: Stop raiding the non-motorized transportation budget!
The Issue
In 2003, in an effort to become one of Michigan's most bike-friendly cities, Ann Arbor City Council dedicated 5% of its "Act 51" funds (funding from the Michigan Transportation Fund) to non-motorized transportation improvements. This funding is the only source of dedicated non-motorized transportation funding for the City of Ann Arbor. It has been used to build bike lanes, install pedestrian crosswalk signage, and educate cyclists on the rules of the road, among other activities. City Council has cut this funding to 2.5% and has chosen not to restore this funding to the past level of 5% this year.
We need you to tell City Council that this policy decision is not acceptable!
