Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter signed H0442 into law. This bill transfers funds back into the Strategic Initiatives Program, which is where the Child Pedestrian Safety Program funds ($2 million) reside.
Now we can get some sidewalks built in Idaho communities!
THANK YOU to each of you who took the time to write or call the Governor. It always makes a difference and is so important to do, we can't ever forget that.
Please take a few more minutes to thank Governor Otter and tell him you appreciate his support for walking, biking, safe communities, and support for the Child Pedestrian Safety Program.
