Would you walk…through the mud? Ride your bike…as cars whiz by? Roll up in a wheelchair…and bump up against the curb?

…Or would you take your helicopter?

Let’s make our streets work for those who don’t have a helicopter at their disposal. Make a year-end gift today to help us create complete streets in 2012.

You already know that the National Complete Streets Coalition is working to ensure that streets are made safe and convenient for walking, bicycling, and taking public transportation — and that, as a result, Complete Streets policies are sweeping the country.

What you may not know is that our work relies on you. Our advocacy and our website, reports, fact sheets, and presentations depend on your financial support.

This year, we’re poised to see over 100 new communities commit to Complete Streets by adopting a Complete Streets policy. All told, 27 states and almost 300 communities have adopted a Complete Streets policies. Yours might be one of them!

But there’s much more to do before a policy “hits the streets.” In 2012, we will focus on helping communities implement their Complete Streets policies. That way, when your local street is undergoing improvements, or a new street is being built, it will be a complete street, where a walk to the bus stop or the park is safe and pleasant.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 before the end of the year. Can you help us create Complete Streets in more communities in 2012 with a gift of $25, $50, or whatever you can give?

Donate today and support the National Complete Streets Coalition’s work to promote streets for all of us. Even those who do own helicopters.
