We

lcome Dar Summit Attd:

Welcome to the tenth National Bike Summit!

On behal o the board, sta, and members o the League o American Bicyclists, we thank

you or helping us celebrate this milestone. We realize it is a big commitment or each o youto dedicate your time and resources to attend each year, and we want you to know we trulyappreciate it.

It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since the rst Summit in 2001, when a smallgroup o advocates and industry representatives came together to brainstorm on how thebicycle movement could become more relevant at the national level. Those early visionariesound the vehicle and the ormat to energize bicycle advocates rom around the country.

Although our mission in 2010, may look similar to that rst Summit, we have actually madesignicant progress in ensuring that bicycling is included in national policy initiatives such as:transportation, climate, health, livability, sustainability and natural resources. We have also seen

a dramatic increase in the amount o Federal unds going to bicycling and pedestrian projects up rom $296 million in 2000 to more than $1.1 billion in 2009.Also consistent with the rst Summit in 2001 is the act that the Bikes Belong Coalition is theSummits lead sponsor, and we are deeply grateul or their decade o support. We have alsobeen very ortunate to welcome new sponsors each year, and we want to thank each o themor their part in helping us grow the Summit to what it is today we really could not deliver theevent without such support! We should also note that we have a strong contingent o dealers inattendance again this year due to our growing partnerships with the National Bicycle DealersAssociation and Trek, and we welcome a strong contingent o mountain bike advocates,courtesy o our colleagues at IMBA.

Together our movement is strong, and this event is unique in bringing together so manydiverse elements: industry leaders and advocates, on- and o-road riders, national and localorganizations. Together, we are one powerul voice.

Welcome to the 2010 National Bike Summit!

EfectiveAdvocacy

EFFECTIvE ADvOCACYMeeting in person with elected ocials and/or legislativesta is the most eective means o political advocacy.Congressional meetings have been set up or you by yourState contact(s) and by Advocacy Associates. Below are

important suggestions to ensure that your Hill visit is suc-cessul and eective.

STEP ONE: FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU WANT

Prepare careully and thoroughly or your meeting. Takethe time beore your meetings to get to know yourlegislator(s) by reviewing their Web site to learn moreabout issues that may be o importance to them, as wellas nd out what committees they are on and/or leader-ship positions they may hold. Work with state coordinatorsand other state delegates to develop a meeting agenda

that participants can clearly understand.

Also as part o your preparation, please take a ew min-utes to review the bills you will be asking your membersto co-sponsor and see i your member has already co-sponsored; and i so, simply thank them or co-sponsoringand put your ocus on other bills that they have not co-sponsored.

Know what you are there toASKo your legislator andbe prepared to make your case. Your goal is to orcesomeone in the oce to think about you and your issuesor longer than ve minutes making theASKhelps youachieve that goal.

The ollowing sites can be useul in helping you look upyour member(s), reviewing co-sponsorship inormationand other details on bills you will be asking your membersto co-sponsor:

The 2010 National Bike Summit Legislatie Asks:

1. Active Community Transportation Act of 2010

2. Complete Streets Act of 2009

3. Safe Routes to School Program

4. Urban Revitalization and Livable Communities Act

5. Land and Water Reauthorization and Funding Act

6. Congressional Bike Caucus

STEP TWO: WHOM SHOULD YOU ASK?

Meetings have been set up or you with your respectivemembers, so be sure to identiy yoursel as a constituentat the outset o the meeting. You should also be awarethat many o the meetings will only be with sta.

Many grassroots advocates underestimate the importantrole o legislative sta. A supportive sta person canoten make the dierence between success and ailure.Staers play an invaluable role in shaping a legislatorsagenda and position on issues. It is important that youmake every eort to cultivate a positive working relation-ship with sta. Over time, sta may even come to regardyou as a helpul resource or inormation on your issue.

I you do meet with a staer, most likely it will be with theLegislative Assistant (LA) who handles transportationand/or natural resources and the environment. Remember

that you are the expert and that most sta handle multiplepolicy issues and may not be amiliar with all the detailsabout our issues. Fortunately, youre there to help themout on bicycling.

EfectiveAdvocacy STEP THREE: DELIvERING YOUR MESSAGE

Stay on message, stick to the issue(s), state only aew key points in support o your position and make adenite request or action. Many meetings are ineectivebecause a participant brings up other issues or strays

rom the key arguments supporting your position. Havea message and stick to it. Your eectiveness is basedon geography. Legislators want to hear your thoughtsand opinions because you are a constituent. One o yourmost useul strategies is to relate the issue and yourposition to your community. Legislators have many otheravenues to get national or state analysis, reports andstatistics. Excellent local success stories and examplesare critical in making the case or the National Bike Sum-mit asks. So i it is relevant to theASK- Do not be araidto humanize the issue by relating it to your local com-munity or personal experience. I you participated in thepre-summit webinars, you will have done your homework

ahead o time to see i there are any personal stories youcan share that relate to the 2010 Legislative priorities.

We know you may have local issues you want to discusswith your senator or representative we encourage youto ask or a meeting back in your home district to ad-dress these. There is considerable power in having a sim-ple, unied and consistent voice when we are up on Capi-tol Hill representing the bicycle movement; covering thekey national Summit asks is the priority or this one day.

Prior to the meeting, give some thought as to whom inthe delegation might be best suited to make the request

based upon what you know about the member or staer.For instance, there may be someone in your group thathas a good relationship with the member or sta you aremeeting with. Additionally, a business person may be bet-ter suited to speak to a more conservative member, whilean activist might be better suited to lead i the meeting iswith a more progressive member.

Do not orget why you are there. It is appropriate and ex-pected that you will make a request at your meeting. Thekey is to make sure that your request is clearly articu-lated and actionable by the legislator. It is always best tomake a direct and specic request that is tied to pendinglegislative activity (i possible). For example when youask that a legislator co-sponsor a bill, make reerence tobill numbers and be knowledgeable about the status othe bill. Making a specic request gives you the opportu-nity to evaluate the legislators response.

Finally, thank the member and/or staer or taking thetime to meet with you and your delegation to discuss ourlegislative priorities or the 2010 legislative session.

STEP FOUR: FOLLOWING UP

Following up ater a meeting is almost as importantas the meeting itsel. Send a thank you letter ater themeeting that expresses appreciation and reinorces yourmessage and any verbal commitment o support made by

the legislator or sta is key. Not many people take thissimple step youll stand out positively i you do so!

I you promise during the meeting to get back in touchwith additional inormation, be sure that you do so. Fail-ure to ollow up on your promise will call your credibilityinto question. Follow-up is important even i the legislatordoes not agree to support your request because you arebuilding a long-term relationship.

Also, dont orget to report the results o your meetingback to League sta. This inormation is vital to coor-dinating overall legislative strategy and evaluating the

impact o advocacy eorts. One person in each meetingshould be assigned to take notes and report back.

Please go to www.bikeleague.org and ll out the onlineCongressional eedback orm as soon as possible ateryour meeting while the inormation is resh in your mind.

Whats Happening with the Transportation Billand other frequently asked questions

Whats th Currt Status of th Trasportatio Bi?

The 2005 Sae, Accountable, Flexible, and Ecient Transportation Equity Act a Legacy or Users (SAFETEA-LU) expired on September 30, 2009. Since then, Congress has passed a series o short extensions to continue theprograms at FY2009 unding levels. The most recent extension lasts through December 31, 2010.

Didt Chairma Obrstar Itroduc a w bi ast ar?

Yes, he did. Chairman Oberstar worked with Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Republican leaders o the Transportationand Inrastructure Committee to drat a new authorization bill last spring. Absent an agreed new revenue stream, theSurace Transportation Authorization Act (STAA) has no dollar amounts and has not been ormally introduced or votedon. There is no drat Senate bill although a vote this year on the transportation bill has been promised by SenateMajority Leader Harry Reid.

How Dos th Bi Addrss Our Issus?

The STAA includes much o the America Bikes agenda: it preserves the existing core unding programs, requiresadequate accommodation or bicycling and walking in all ederally-unded projects, establishes perormance measuresor cyclists saety, and creates a new oce o livability that would help expedite bicycling and walking projects andimprove data collection and research.

So How Do th Summit Asks Rat to th STAA?

The Complete Streets and Sae Routes bills ne tune the STAA language by requiring a specic complete streets policyin each state and extending eligibility or Sae Routes unds to High schools. The bills also provide language that can beused in a Senate bill. The Active Community Transportation Act lls in the missing piece o the America Bikes agenda dedicated unding or ocused investment in completing active transportation networks.

T M Wh th ACT Act is a Fdra Priorit

The reality is that most trips that people make every day are local: 40 percent are two miles or less, and 90 percento them are made by car. This dramatically aects our ability to meet national health, congestion, air quality, energy

eciency, climate change and sustainability goals. One main reason bike and walk use is so low is the singular ocus oFederal transportation investment on highways that dont accommodate bicyclists or pedestrians.

By contrast, a city like Portland has seen a tremendous return on their investment in better cycling conditions: ateen-year investment o $57 million in a 300-mile network has resulted in a 190 percent increase in bicycle tracsince 2000. I the 18,000 cyclists a day crossing the Willamette River bridges in downtown Portland were to go by carinstead, a new bridge using ederal money would have to be built at a cost o $300 million.

What About th Urba Parks Pic?

The Transportation bill doesnt address unding or parks and recreation. The LWCF and Urban Parks unding billswould ensure an increased, reliable source o unding that can be used or trails beyond the highway system, as well asacilities linking parks to public housing and schools. Together, the result should mean you really can ride to the ride.

IssueHalf of all trips in the United States are three miles or less, and in our cities 30 percentof all trips are just one mile or less yet the vast majority of even these very shorttrips are made by car. Shifting more of these to biking and walking could dramatically,and economically, reduce congestion, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and ourdependence on foreign oil and improve physical activity, safety and livability.

Unfortunately, most people are unwilling to bike or walk because they dont feel it is safeor convenient to do so. While we have improved the bicycle-friendliness and walkabilityof many communities, there are too many disconnected and incomplete networks ofstreets and highways to effectively accommodate active transportation modes.

IssuePapers S. 584/H.R. 1443 - The Complete Streets Act of 2009

IssueComplete Streets is a policy that ensures ALL potential road users including bicyclists are taken into account in the planning, design,operation, and maintenance o ALL highways. This Federal policy isnecessary because most Federal transportation unding still goes to roadprojects that have no sae and convenient place or bicyclists, pedestrians,transit users, and people with disabilities to travel securely.

An eective, enorceable and measureable complete streets policy,consistently applied to all Federal transportation projects, will ensure thatour transportation system addresses the needs o the entire population. Nonew unding is required or this policy in act, it will save taxpayer dollarsby avoiding the need or costly retrots o poorly designed roads.

Key Facts and Figures

AnationalAARPpollfound47percentofAmericansover50couldnotcross main roads near their home saely. Almost 55 percent reported nobike lanes or paths, and 48 percent had no comortable place to wait orthe bus.

43percentofpeoplewithsafeplacestowalkwithin10minutesofhome met recommended activity levels; among those without saeplaces to walk, just 27 percent met the recommendation.

Status

More than 100 state and local agencies have adopted complete streetspolicies; the Federal Highway Administration has endorsed this approachsince 1999. However, Federal leadership and oversight is necessary toensure eective implementation.

In 2009, the Complete Streets movement exceeded 100 jurisdictions across the United States that have adoptedComplete Streets policies. To date, 18 states are now home to at least one Complete Streets policy and 20 havea state-level law or policy. Now is the time or Congress to lead in this eort to make our nations communitiesmore livable, by enacting a national Complete Streets policy.

Sae Routes to School (SRTS) is a proven national program to create sae,convenient and un ways or children to walk and bike to school. In 2005, theSae, Accountable, Flexible, and Ecient Transportation Equity Act A Legacyor Users (SAFETEA-LU) provided $600 million over ve years to enable statesand local agencies to implement construction, education and encouragementprograms around schools K-8.

More than 70 percent o the unds have been spent in 6,500 schools aroundthe country impressive numbers yet only 7.5 percent o eligible schools will

receive unding under the current program. The unds are in great demand butFederal and state regulations and paperwork hamper implementation.
