Bicycle
Commuter Act Passes Congress, Awaits President’s Signature
After seven long years, the bicycle
commuter tax provision has finally passed both the House and Senate as part of
the financial bailout package. President Bush has said that he is eager to sign
the legislation. “We are delighted that the bicycle commuter
benefits act has passed after a lengthy and persistent campaign spearheaded by
Congressman Blumenauer (D-OR),” said League President Andy Clarke. “Bicycle20commuters will now be
extended similar benefits to people who take transit and drive to work –
it’s an equitable and sensible incentive to encourage greater energy
independence, improve air quality and health, and even help tackle climate
change. Thanks to everyone who has helped reach this milestone, especially Walter
Finch and Mele Williams, our government relations staff over the years who have
worked tirelessly with Congressman Blumenauer, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and
many others in Congress.”
Thanks also to all of you around the
country who have contacted your congressional leaders over the years. Keep
checking back at http://www.bikeleague.org
as we work on the implementation process.
