Dear Friend of Trails,

Your immediate action is needed to protect Transportation Enhancements (TE),
your state's leading source of trail funding.

Right now, your Governor is deciding which of your state's transportation
dollars to forfeit in response to a $3.47 billion national transportation
budget cut mandated by Congress. Last year, in dealing with similar federal
orders, states slashed their TE programs - by far the nation's largest
funding source for trails, walking, biking and historic preservation.

TE cuts in 2006 were six times greater than the previous fourteen years'
cuts combined. We lost over $600 million from the TE program.

TE has funded more than 10,000 trail projects since 1992 (including 1,200
rail-trails). Cuts not only impact future trails, they cripple existing
trails dependent on TE funds. 

Within 30 days, your Governor will decide how to apply this cut to your
state's transportation budget. If not fairly allocated, this could be the
end of programs that fund trails, walking and biking in your state. PLEASE
ask your Governor to protect trail funding!
