In Congress, the transportation bill grinds on. We don’t think we’ll have any Action Alerts in the next week or so, but if anything comes up we’ll have to move in a hurry, so keep an eye out for updates.

From around Texas:

El Paso MPO is conducting a transportation survey. The results of this survey could guide the next steps for transportation in El Paso, so it’s critical that they hear from people who walk or ride a bike (or both!) in the region. Make sure your voice is heard and that El Paso MPO knows that active transportation is in high demand!
Don’t forget, Houston: elections aren’t over yet. Make plans to vote in the runoff!
Hutto’s next Bike and Brunch is Sunday.
Bike Friendly Richardson is hosting its seventh Black Friday Ride next week. Don’t miss out!

From elsewhere:

Exercise can keep you upbeat all winter long.
