ISTEA & TEA21 Author, NBG Supporter, Congressman, James Oberstar, Passed Away Today, May 3, at 79

I support the National Bicycle Greenway and its dream of a nationwide network of interconnected bike roads and pathways. The NBG’s efforts to advance that vision coincide directly with the work I did in Congress to establish the bicycle as an important and respected part of the transportation mix. Go Greenway!

 

The Honourable James Oberstar, Member of Congress 1975-2011
(D-MN) Founder Congressional Bike Caucus.
Author of bicycle provisions in ISTEA and TEA21
