FYI, vote today for cloture on the Senate Transportation Bill,
MAP-21, at 11am Central time.
Senator Blunt is our swing vote, and calls to his office between now
and 11am could make a difference.
Senator Blunt: (202) 224-5721
Suggested message: "Please vote in support of MAP-21 today".
The new version of MAP-21 that they are voting on today includes the
key bicycle/pedestrian provisions that we have been working so hard
for over the past several months.

Dear T4 Partners,
We've had some big victories in the last few days, but we need you
again right now to keep the Senate's proposal moving.
A "cloture" vote to move the Senate's transportation
reauthorization bill forward has been tentatively scheduled for
only a few hours from now at noon Eeastern Time, and we need your
help to ensure that the Senate clears this hurdle and moves the bill
toward final passage.
<http://action.smartgrowthamerica.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=apBWYjRFILGy%2BrKDBQZzRQM9VV05kz1o>Can
you call your Senate offices today and ask them to vote YES for
cloture on MAP-21?
As we told you last night, the revisions Majority Leader Reid has
negotiated with the committee chairs and ranking members have
significantly strengthened the Senate transportation authorization
bill and have earned T4 America's support. We will continue to look
for ways to strengthen the bill, but you can

more about the changes on our blog.
Thank you so much for all your hard work to make these crucial
changes to the bill. Senate offices definitely got the message. Call
your Senators NOW to ensure that they continue to hear the message
and move the bill toward final passage. And urge your members and
supporters to do the same if you can.
Sincerely,
James Corless
Director, Transportation for America
