Bicycle Commuter Benefit on House Tax Extender Bill   

On May 21, 2008, prior to the Memorial  Day recess, the House passed H.R. 6049, the Renewable Energy and  Job Creation Act of 2008.  Included in the  legislation is a $20 per month transportation fringe benefit for  bicycle commuters to cover costs of commuting by bike. (See  Provision Here) <http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c110:3:./temp/%7Ec110EklhTd:e110221:>
 We are expecting the Senate finance  committee to take up the measure the week of June  2nd, and would like to have the Senators who  previously co-sponsored S. 858 (Bicycle Commuters Benefit Act  2007), sign onto a joint letter, being distributed by Senator  Wyden, to the Chair and Ranking Member of the Finance Committee  asking them to adopt the House  provision. Please take a moment to click on the  action button to contact your Senator and urge them to sign onto  the joint letter.  Thank you.
