No On 2117 -- A Bad Deal for WA

Vote No on I-2117 If You Love Bikes and Trails

  • I-2117 would put billions of investments in bicycle and pedestrian projects at risk in every corner of our state. 
  • It would cut funding that makes bicycling and active transportation more accessible to kids.
  • It would also mean more air pollution across our state and rollback programs that help make communities less vulnerable to wildfires.
