US: Federal Legislation Introduced to Increase Community Walking, Biking Programs

The Active Community Act of 2010, or ACT, was brought to the House floor yesterday by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) to promote active forms of transportation that can improve a sense of community vitality, reduce pollution in the air and create jobs. An average of $400 million annually over five years would be authorized for the program.
