URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO KEEP WEST YORKSHIRE BIKING!

The link below is to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority consultation on the Single Transport Plan that has NO mention of motorcycles at all! Consultation on this Single Transport Plan finishes on 30th April 2015

This is a plan which runs from 2016 to 2036 and does not make any reference to motorcycles. To make sure that we are considered in the plans - we are vulnerable road users after all - PLEASE take a few minutes out of your day to make your thoughts known via the survey link on the web page - they want to know our views, so let's tell them - nicely but firmly. You might want to include in your response some or all of the following:

• How do you come up with a plan that takes no heed of motorcyclists (riders of Powered Two Wheelers) needs?
• Motorcycles cause less pollution, ease congestion and reduce pressure on parking places
• They are also a third of the group of Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs)
• You have a duty to reduce ALL road casualties and to exclude us as VRUs is irresponsible and bordering on the criminal
• Unless you include motorcyclists in your future plans they are not accurate nor fair and thus are flawed and not a vision for the future

PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO WANT TO SEE YOU STAY SAFE ON OUR ROADS AND WITH OTHER BIKE GROUPS.

Thanks in anticipation of your participation! www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/stp-survey/
