Consider the following: </p> <ul> <li></li>Enacting the Complete Streets Act complements Gov. Schwarzenegger's groundbreaking initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California by improving conditions that enable people to travel by bicycle, on foot or by public transit. <li></li>Streets designed to accommodate all users benefit the public health by encouraging more people to choose active transportation modes like bicycling and walking. <li>California will be the first state in the nation to embrace Complete Streets principles for all local streets and roadways. </li></ul><p>AB 1358 will make our roads safer and more convenient places for Californians who choose to walk, ride a bike, or take transit. Safer roads enable more people to gain the health benefits of choosing an active form of transportation, and benefit everyone by reducing traffic congestion, auto-related air pollution, and the production of climate-changing greenhouse gases. <br><br><strong>Call the Governor TODAY at 916-445-2841 or <a href="http://gov.ca.gov/interact">send an email.</a></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="middle"><img height="2" src="http://web17.streamhoster.com/ddc/AARP/images/states/divider02.gif" width="550" vspace="10"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" valign="top" align="middle"><strong>This email was sent to you by AARP.</strong><br>To ensure delivery to your inbox (not bulk or junk folders),<br>please add <a href="mailto:aarpca@aarp.org">aarpca@aarp.org</a> to your address book.</td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="middle"><img height="2" src="http://web17.streamhoster.com/ddc/AARP/images/states/divider02.gif" width="550" vspace="10"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" valign="top" align="middle"><p>This e-mail is being sent by the AARP California State Office, 200 South Los Robles Ave.,<br>Suite 400, Pasadena, CA 91101.
